Humans often slow down after mistakes (post-error slowing [PES]), but the neural
mechanism and adaptive role of PES remain controversial. We studied changes in the …

Sexual dimorphisms have been observed in many species, including humans and extend to
the prevalence and presentation of important mental disorders associated with performance …

Reaction time (RT) is commonly observed to slow down after an error. This post-error
slowing (PES) has been thought to arise from the strategic adoption of a more cautious …

After errors, decision boundaries change, which results in post-error slowing of decisions.
Purcell and Kiani (2016) report simultaneously decreased sensitivity to sensory information …

Objective: Post-error slowing (PES) is a cognitive mechanism for adaptive responses to
reduce the probability of error in subsequent trials after error. To date, no meta-analytic …

In recent years, neuroscience research spent much effort in revealing brain activity related to
metacognition. Despite this endeavor, it remains unclear exactly when metacognitive …

Emerging research in social and affective neuroscience has implicated a role for affect and
motivation in performance monitoring and cognitive control. No study, however, has …

Quickly detecting and correcting mistakes is a crucial brain function. EEG studies have
identified an idiosyncratic electrophysiological signature of online error correction, termed …

Most of our daily life is organized around rules and social norms. But what makes rules so
special? And what if one were to break a rule intentionally? Can we simply free us from the …

In cognitive tasks, error commission is usually followed by a performance characterized by
post-error slowing (PES) and post-error improvement of accuracy (PIA). Three theoretical …
