“…Our first finding revealed no significant difference in the SSRT between the HTA and LTA groups, suggesting that trait anxiety does not have a substantial effect on behavioral competence of response inhibition. However, other studies that have applied the go/no-go (Xia et al, 2020) or the Stroop task (Basten et al, 2011) revealed behavioral deficits of inhibitory function in individuals with HTA compared to those with LTA. It should be noted that the p-value (p = 0.08, two-tailed) in the present study was very close to significance given a sample size with 20 subjects in each group.…”

“…Abnormalities in inhibitory control and error monitoring have been frequently reported in clinical forms of anxiety (Eysenck et al, 2007;Moser et al, 2013). However, the effects of trait anxiety, a subclinical form of anxiety, on inhibitory control and error monitoring remain inconclusive (Moser et al, 2012;Saunders and Inzlicht, 2020;Xia et al, 2020). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether and to what extent trait anxiety modulates inhibitory control, error processing, and adaptive behavior after making a mistake.…”

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.

Insomnia, presented as problems with initiating or maintaining sleep, or early morning awakening, affects about 33.7% to up to 69% of the youth population, depending on the defining criteria and age of the study samples (Blank et al., 2015;Chung, Kan, & Yeung, 2014;Sing & Wong, 2011). Insomnia in youth entails an increased risk of developing a wide range of negative outcomes, including interpersonal problems, poor perceived physical health, somatic health problems, as well as depressive and anxiety symptoms (Blank et al., 2015). Meanwhile, youth is a developmental period that is especially vulnerable to impulsivity and poor impulse control due to the immature development of the forebrain circuits during adolescence (Geier & Luna, 2009). In particular, insomnia in youth has been linked to the behavioral problems associated with impaired inhibitory control, such as substance abuse, self-harm and suicidal risk (Hysing,

“…It requires the subject to respond between performing or inhibiting the motor response. The stopping task requires the inhibition of a motor response triggered by a “stop” signal shortly after the start signal, thus converting the start response posterior to a forbidden response, involving the withdrawal of a response already triggered by the Go signal [ 14 ]. Other experiments have shown that various regions of the brain are related to behavioral execution and behavioral inhibition in the Go/No go task, including the orbital gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus, medial frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal cortex [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”

The cerebellar region has four times as many brain cells as the brain, but whether the cerebellum functions in cognition, and how it does so, remain unexplored. In order to verify whether the cerebellum is involved in cognition, we chose to investigate whether the cerebellum is involved in the process of error judgment. We designed an experiment in which we could activate the subject’s error-related potentials (ErrP). We recruited 26 subjects and asked them to wear EEG caps with cerebellar regions designed by us to participate in the experiment so that we could record their EEG activity throughout the experiment. We successfully mitigated the majority of noise interference after a series of pre-processing of the data collected from each subject. Our analysis of the preprocessed data revealed that our experiment successfully activated ErrP, and that the EEG signals, including the cerebellum, were significantly different when subjects made errors compared to when they made correct judgments. We designed a feature extraction method that requires selecting channels with large differences under different classifications, firstly by extracting the time-frequency features of these channels, and then screening these features with sequence backward feature (SBS) selection. We use the extracted features as the input and different event types in EEG data as the labels for multiple classifiers to classify the data in the executive and feedback segments, where the average accuracy for two-class classification of executive segments can reach 80.5%. The major contribution of our study is the discovery of the presence of ErrP in cerebellar regions and the extraction of an effective feature extraction method for EEG data.
