17 Questions
What are two components of error monitoring that increase with age?
ERN and Pe
What aspect of error monitoring decreases with aging?
Error detection rate
What are the two main topics discussed in relation to error processing?
Neural correlates and adaptation
What is highlighted as the neural basis of error monitoring in the text?
Fronto-central topographical Error-Related Negativity (ERN)
How is error correction different from error detection?
Correction is automatic and fast, while detection is voluntary and slower
What factors can increase the amplitude of ERN according to the lecture?
Correction speed, intensity of response, higher rewards, social pressure
What is Error-Related Negativity (ERN) and when does it occur?
ERN is a negative deflection occurring shortly after an erroneous response.
Describe the topography of ERN.
ERN has a fronto-central topography, indicating the brain regions involved.
What factors influence the amplitude of ERN?
Factors include speed and probability of the corrective response, forcefulness of responses, emphasis on accuracy over speed, reward magnitude, and social pressure.
How does the speed and probability of error correction impact ERN amplitude?
Faster error correction and higher probability of error correction lead to larger ERN amplitudes.
How is ERN modulated by response force?
ERN is modulated by response force, as shown in studies using tasks like the Flanker task and squeezing dynamometers.
What distinguishes error correction from error detection?
Error correction is automatic, fast, spontaneous, and robust, while error detection is voluntary, slower, instructed, and more susceptible to interference.
What are some techniques mentioned in the text to induce errors in a lab setting?
Engaging in dual tasks, creating conflicting response tendencies
Name some aspects of errors that can be studied, as listed in the text.
Frequency, context, types, level of awareness, consequences
Which brain region is linked to the execution of actions, as referenced in the text?
Primary Motor Cortex (PH)
What neural processes are highlighted as partly separate with distinct underpinnings in the text?
Correction and Detection
What does the text emphasize as important in error detection?
The environment, decision-making, and execution of actions
Explore the concepts of error correction and detection in cognitive neuroscience, including characteristics, differences, and neural responses like Error-Related Negativity (ERN). Understand how automatic and spontaneous errors differ from voluntary and instructed ones.
