Describe the topography of ERN.

<p>ERN has a fronto-central topography, indicating the brain regions involved.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What factors influence the amplitude of ERN?

<p>Factors include speed and probability of the corrective response, forcefulness of responses, emphasis on accuracy over speed, reward magnitude, and social pressure.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How does the speed and probability of error correction impact ERN amplitude?

<p>Faster error correction and higher probability of error correction lead to larger ERN amplitudes.</p> Signup and view all the answers

How is ERN modulated by response force?

<p>ERN is modulated by response force, as shown in studies using tasks like the Flanker task and squeezing dynamometers.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What distinguishes error correction from error detection?

<p>Error correction is automatic, fast, spontaneous, and robust, while error detection is voluntary, slower, instructed, and more susceptible to interference.</p> Signup and view all the answers
