People are capable of robust evaluations of their decisions: they are often aware of their
mistakes even without explicit feedback, and report levels of confidence in their decisions …

Here we review studies on the complexity and strength of unconscious information
processing. We focus on empirical evidence that relates awareness of information to …

We review two decades of research on the error-related negativity (ERN or Ne), a
component of the event-related brain potential that accompanies errors in speeded …

One mechanism that has been hypothesized to contribute to older adults' changes in
cognitive performance is goal neglect or impairment in maintaining task set across time …

People tend to slow down after they make an error. This phenomenon, generally referred to
as post-error slowing, has been hypothesized to reflect perceptual distraction, time wasted …

According to recent accounts, the processing of errors and generally infrequent, surprising
(novel) events share a common neuroanatomical substrate. Direct empirical evidence for …

In many response time tasks, people slow down after they make an error. This phenomenon
of post-error slowing (PES) is thought to reflect an increase in response caution, that is, a …

Both cognitive conflict (eg Verguts & Notebaert, 2009) and reward signals (eg Waszak &
Pholulamdeth, 2009) have been proposed to enhance task-relevant associations. Bringing …

The current study examined behavioral measures and response‐locked event‐related brain
potentials (ERPs) derived from a Go/No‐Go task in a large (N= 328) sample of 5‐to 7‐year …

A body of work suggests similarities in the way we become aware of an error and process
motivationally salient events. Yet, evidence for a shared neural mechanism has not been …
