The authors present a unified account of 2 neural systems concerned with the development
and expression of adaptive behaviors: a mesencephalic dopamine system for reinforcement …

Humans can monitor actions and compensate for errors. Analysis of the human event-
related brain potentials (ERPs) accompanying errors provides evidence for a neural process …

The error-related negativity (ERN) and error positivity (Pe) are electrophysiological markers
of error processing thought to originate in the medial frontal cortex. Previous studies using …

The error‐related negativity (ERN) is an event‐related brain potential elicited by error
commission and by presentation of feedback stimuli indicating incorrect performance. In this …

A recent study indicates that alcohol consumption reduces the amplitude of the error-related
negativity (ERN), a negative deflection in the electroencephalogram associated with error …

Gehring, Goss, Coles, Meyer, and Donchin (1993) have reported electrophysiological
evidence for a brain mechanism dedicated to monitoring performance and compensating for …

Recent research has suggested that there is a component of the event‐related brain
potential, the error‐related negativity (ERN), that is associated with error detection and …

Negative feedback, either internal or external, is a fundamental guide to human learning and
performance. The neural system that underlies the monitoring of performance and the …

The development of the field of cognitive neuroscience has inspired a revival of interest in
the brain mechanisms involved in the processing of rewards, punishments, and abstract …

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 …
