Coordinated interactions between the central and autonomic nervous systems are crucial for
survival due to the inherent propensity for human behavior to make errors. In our ever …

Successful goal-directed behavior requires not only correct action selection, planning, and
execution but also the ability to flexibly adapt behavior when performance problems occur or …

Aging has been assumed to go along with deficient inhibitory processes in cognitive
performance. According to this inhibition deficit hypothesis, older adults are less able to …

When our brain detects an error, this process changes how we react on ensuing trials.
People show post-error adaptations, potentially to improve their performance in the near …

The ability to detect and correct action errors is paramount to safe and efficient goal‐directed
behaviors. Existing work on the neural underpinnings of error processing and post‐error …

A hallmark of adaptation in humans and other animals is our ability to control how we think
and behave across different settings. Research has characterized the various forms …

Failures to perceive visual stimuli lead to errors in decision making. Different theoretical
accounts implicate either medial frontal (MF) cognitive control processes or prestimulus …

Humans and other primates have a remarkable ability to perform a wide range of tasks and
behaviors, even novel ones, in order to achieve their goals. Further, they are able to shift …

The frontal cortex, especially the anterior cingulate cortex area (ACA), is essential for
exerting cognitive control after errors, but the mechanisms that enable modulation of …

Influential theories emphasize the importance of predictions in learning: we learn from
feedback to the extent that it is surprising, and thus conveys new information. Here, we …
