Abstract:The slowing down of a response after committing an error in speeded response tasks has been reliably observed over the last 60 years, but no explanation has yet been articulated to account for it. Post-error slowing (PES) is thought to reflect a proactive mechanism to improve one’s chances of successfully inhibiting a response or selecting the correct response from an array of possibilities. Recently, Dutilh and colleagues (2012a) used computational modelling to compare how well several accounts of PES fit rea… Show more
