Effect sizes are the most important outcome of empirical studies. Most articles on effect sizes
highlight their importance to communicate the practical significance of results. For scientists …

In psychological experiments, participants are typically instructed to respond as fast as
possible without sacrificing accuracy. How they interpret this instruction and, consequently …

While judging their sensory environments, decision-makers seem to use the uncertainty
about their choices to guide adjustments of their subsequent behaviour. One possible …

Current reinforcement-learning models often assume simplified decision processes that do
not fully reflect the dynamic complexities of choice processes. Conversely, sequential …

Perceptual choices depend not only on the current sensory input but also on the behavioral
context, such as the history of one's own choices. Yet, it remains unknown how such history …

Living in a social world requires social monitoring, ie, the ability to keep track of others'
actions and mistakes. Here, we demonstrate the good reliability of the behavioral and …

Investigations into the neurophysiological underpinnings of control suggest that frontal theta
activity is increased with the need for control. However, these studies typically show this link …

We used a dynamical systems perspective to understand decision-related neural activity, a
fundamentally unresolved problem. This perspective posits that time-varying neural activity …

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 …

Humans can self-monitor errors without explicit feedback, resulting in behavioral
adjustments on subsequent trials such as post-error slowing (PES). The error-related …
