“…Previous studies suggest that the ERN and CRN are not modulated error awareness (Endrass et al, 2007;Nieuwenhuis et al, 2001). Results regarding the influence of error rates are mixed and some demonstrated larger ERNs associated with lower error rates (Holroyd & Coles, 2002;Pailing & Segalowitz, 2004a) and others reported no relationship between error-rate and ERN (Falkenstein, Hoormann, Christ, & Hohnsbein, 2000;Masaki, Falkenstein, Sturmer, Pinkpank, & Sommer, 2007). In our study the reported difficulty effects on ERN and CRN were replicated when controlling for differences in error rates 3 .…”
