“…It is known that increased age can contribute to changes in information processing speed and executive function. Most studies on post-error slowing reported that slowing occurs in both young and older adults (Pereiro, Bustamante, Cisneros, & Juncos-Rabadán, 2018;Czernochowski, 2014;Ruitenberg, Abrahamse, De Kleine, & Verwey, 2014;Dutilh, Forstmann, Vandekerckhove, & Wagenmakers, 2013;Jackson & Balota, 2012;Friedman, Nessler, Cycowicz, & Horton, 2009;Nessler, Friedman, Johnson, & Bersick, 2007;Falkenstein, Hoormann, Christ, & Hohnsbein, 2000), with significantly increased post-error slowing in older compared to young participants in some of the studies (Pereiro et al, 2018;Ruitenberg et al, 2014;Dutilh et al, 2013;Jackson & Balota, 2012;Friedman et al, 2009;Falkenstein et al, 2000). Based on the aging literature, age may not account for the lack of a post-mismatch button press delay in our study, but, other than age, we are not aware of major differences in our experimental task design and that of Iwanaga and Nittono (2010).…”

Anticipation, monitoring, and evaluation of the outcome of one's actions are at the core of proactive control. Individuals with lesions to OFC often demonstrate behaviors that indicate a lack of recognition or concern for the negative effects of their actions. Altered action timing has also been reported in these patients. We investigated the role of OFC in predicting and monitoring the sensory outcomes of self-paced actions. We studied patients with focal OFC lesions (n = 15) and healthy controls (n = 20) while they produced actions that infrequently evoked unexpected outcomes. Participants performed a self-paced, random generation task where they repeatedly pressed right and left buttons that were associated with specific sensory outcomes: a 1- and 2-kHz tone, respectively. Occasional unexpected action outcomes occurred (mismatch) that inverted the learned button–tone association (match). We analyzed ERPs to the expected and unexpected outcomes as well as action timing. Neither group showed post-mismatch slowing of button presses, but OFC patients had a higher number of fast button presses, indicating that they were inferior to controls at producing regularly timed actions. Mismatch trials elicited enhanced N2b-P3a responses across groups as indicated by the significant main effect of task condition. Planned within-group analyses showed, however, that patients did not have a significant condition effect, suggesting that the result of the omnibus analysis was driven primarily by the controls. Altogether, our findings indicate that monitoring of action timing and the sensory outcomes of self-paced actions as indexed by ERPs is impacted by OFC damage.

“…This seems quite reasonable if one also considers that, in these errors of action, RTs of errors are generally shorter than RTs of correct trials, suggesting that errors occurred when information processing has been superficial or incomplete because not long enough. This interpretation was supported by the fact that PES has been found to correlate with post-error accuracy (Hajcak et al, 2003;Forster and Cho, 2014; but see Danielmeier and Ullsperger, 2011;Pereiro et al, 2018).…”

“…However, given that the orienting response is supposed to vanish quite quickly over time, this explanation cannot account for PES at the N+2 trial (and sometimes beyond) when evidenced (Burns, 1971;Forster and Cho, 2014). Moreover, several authors did report PEIA associated with PES (e.g., Laming, 1979;Marco-Pallarés et al, 2008;Danielmeier and Ullsperger, 2011;Seifert et al, 2011;Grützmann et al, 2014;Ruitenberg et al, 2014;Ceccarini and Castiello, 2018;Fischer et al, 2018;Pereiro et al, 2018;Overbye et al, 2019). This suggests that the orienting account of PES is only a part of this complex effect.…”

Errors and Action Monitoring: Errare Humanum Est Sed Corrigere Possibile

It was recognized long ago by Seneca through his famous "errare humanum est." that the human information processing system is intrinsically fallible. What is newer is the fact that, at least in sensorimotor information processing realized under time pressure, errors are largely dealt with by several (psycho)physiological-specific mechanisms: prevention, detection, inhibition, correction, and, if these mechanisms finally fail, strategic behavioral adjustments following errors. In this article, we review several datasets from laboratory experiments, showing that the human information processing system is well equipped not only to detect and correct errors when they occur but also to detect, inhibit, and correct them even before they fully develop. We argue that these (psycho)physiological mechanisms are important to consider when the brain works in everyday settings in order to render work systems more resilient to human errors and, thus, safer.
