“…Consistent with our present results, several studies have found no association between ERN and PES in worried students (Hajcak and Simons, 2002;Hajcak et al, 2003a). However, others have detected such a relationship (West and Travers, 2008;Overbye et al, 2019). Taken together, although our data suggest that higher neural responses to error awareness are related to more adaptive adjustments after errors, this result should be carefully interpreted based on the relatively small correlation coefficient (partial r = −0.349).…”

The present study aimed to use event-related potentials with the stop-signal task to investigate the effects of trait anxiety on inhibitory control, error monitoring, and post-error adjustments. The stop-signal reaction time (SSRT) was used to evaluate the behavioral competence of inhibitory control. Electrophysiological signals of error-related negativity (ERN) and error positivity (Pe) were used to study error perception and error awareness, respectively. Post-error slowing (PES) was applied to examine the behavioral adjustments after making errors. The results showed that SSRT and PES did not differ significantly between individuals with high trait anxiety (HTA) and those with low trait anxiety (LTA). However, individuals with HTA demonstrated reduced ERN amplitudes and prolonged Pe latencies than those with LTA. Prolonged Pe latencies were also significantly associated with poorer post-error adjustments. In conclusion, HTA led to reduced cortical responses to error monitoring. Furthermore, inefficient conscious awareness of errors might lead to maladaptive post-error adjustments.

“…Although the role of cognition in nicotine dependence has aroused great interest (40), and in the cognitive neuroscience of the Pe (37,(41)(42)(43), it seems to be the first study to show that Pe is sensitive to acute abstinence from smoking. Previous ERP studies have shown that the Pe possibly reflects the error awareness (44), motivational significance (45), or emotional assessment of an error (46).…”

The cognitive control processes may be disrupted by abstinence in smokers, which may be helpful in the development and maintenance of addictive behavior. The purpose of this study was to measure the performance of cognitive task after 12 h of smoking abstinence by using event-related potentials (ERPs), including the error-related negativity (ERN) and the error positivity (Pe). In Eriksen flanker task, electroencephalography (EEG) signals of 24 smokers were recorded in two conditions: satiety and 12 h abstinence. In the behavioral data, both conditions exhibited more errors and more time on the incongruent trials than congruence. Meantime, the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MNWS) score was increased during abstinence. Smokers showed reduced ERN and Pe after 12 h of abstinence, compared with satiety condition. The results indicate that the diminished error processing in young smokers after 12 h of abstinence. It may be related to increased withdrawal symptoms. In conclusion, the disrupted neurophysiological indexes in the general behavior monitoring system may be caused by abstinence. The results of this study may provide us with new ideas about the effects of short-term abstinence on brain cognitive neuroscience and be helpful for the solution of relapse.

“…For example, a series of studies using a visual discrimination task revealed that 5-year-olds overestimated their performance and were less likely to rate their performance as worse on more difficult trials than easier trials compared to adults (O'Leary & Sloutsky, 2017, 2019). Similarly, post-error slowing and post-error improvement in accuracy, which reflect behavioral adjustment following error detection, increased with age during a flanker task among 8- to 19-year-olds (Overbye et al, 2019). Finally, a study with 7- to 25-year-olds reported that age was positively related to amplitude of an electrophysiological index of internal response monitoring, the error-related negativity (ERN), during a flanker task (Davies, Segalowitz, & Gavin, 2004).…”

Effects of a school readiness intervention on electrophysiological indices of external response monitoring in children in foster care

This study examined the impact of a school readiness intervention on external response monitoring in children in foster care. Behavioral and event-related potential (ERP) data were collected during a flanker task from children who received the Kids In Transition to School (KITS) Program (n = 26) and children who received services as usual (n = 19) before and after the intervention. While there were no significant group differences on the behavioral data, the ERP data for the two groups of children significantly differed. Specifically, in contrast to the children who received services as usual, the children who received the KITS Program displayed greater amplitude differences between positive and negative performance feedback over time for the N1, which reflects early attention processes, and feedback-related negativity, which reflects evaluation processes. In addition, although the two groups did not differ on amplitude differences between positive and negative performance feedback for these ERP components before the intervention, the children who received the KITS Program displayed greater amplitude differences than the children who received services as usual after the intervention. These results suggest that the KITS Program had an effect on responsivity to external performance feedback, which may be beneficial during the transition into kindergarten.
