“…The results emphasize that the brain has a general-purpose control system that can be applied to monitoring outcomes of behavior across many domains. Cognitive neuroscience research has already demonstrated ERN and FRN responses to errors and losses in many contexts-errors committed with hands and feet (Holroyd, Dien, & Coles, 1998), errors in buttonpressing and errors in speech (e.g., Masaki, Tanaka, Takasawa, & Yamazaki, 2001), or errors of commission and errors of timing (e.g., Luu, Flaisch, & Tucker, 2000;Miltner et al, 1997). The anterior cingulate cortex is also activated by cognitive dissonance (van Veen, Krug, Schooler, & Carter, 2009), implying that conflict between internal attitudes and behavior can produce an error-like neural response.…”

Social psychologists have long noted the tendency for human behavior to conform to social group norms. This study examined whether feedback indicating that participants had deviated from group norms would elicit a neural signal previously shown to be elicited by errors and monetary losses. While electroencephalograms were recorded, participants (N = 30) rated the attractiveness of 120 faces and received feedback giving the purported average rating made by a group of peers. The feedback was manipulated so that group ratings either were the same as a participant's rating or deviated by 1, 2, or 3 points. Feedback indicating deviance from the group norm elicited a feedback-related negativity, a brainwave signal known to be elicited by objective performance errors and losses. The results imply that the brain treats deviance from social norms as an error.

“…However, unlike the ERN, an auditory-evoked potential is independent of response correctness. Masaki et al (2001) used loud pink noise to suppress the vocalization-elicited components. In the current study, we did not use any masking procedure.…”

“…In the present study, however, we use the ERN to explore the workings of the verbal monitoring system. There are only few studies that looked at the ERN after verbal errors (see Ganushchak and Schiller, 2006, in press;Masaki et al, 2001;Möller et al, 2007;Sebastián-Gallés et al, 2006), which we will briefly review below.…”

Motivation and semantic context affect brain error-monitoring activity: An event-related brain potentials study

2008

During speech production, we continuously monitor what we say. In situations in which speech errors potentially have more severe consequences, e.g. during a public presentation, our verbal selfmonitoring system may pay special attention to prevent errors than in situations in which speech errors are more acceptable, such as a casual conversation. In an event-related potential study, we investigated whether or not motivation affected participants' performance using a picture naming task in a semantic blocking paradigm. Semantic context of to-be-named pictures was manipulated; blocks were semantically related (e.g., cat, dog, horse, etc.) or semantically unrelated (e.g., cat, table, flute, etc.). Motivation was manipulated independently by monetary reward. The motivation manipulation did not affect error rate during picture naming. However, the highmotivation condition yielded increased amplitude and latency values of the error-related negativity (ERN) compared to the low-motivation condition, presumably indicating higher monitoring activity. Furthermore, participants showed semantic interference effects in reaction times and error rates. The ERN amplitude was also larger during semantically related than unrelated blocks, presumably indicating that semantic relatedness induces more conflict between possible verbal responses.

“…Considering that the ERN is indifferent to modality of the error information (Holroyd and Coles, 2002), it seems plausible to assume that the ERN will also be generated by verbal errors. One study conducted by Masaki et al (2001) examined whether the ERN occurs in relation to speech errors in the Stroop color-word task. Participants were instructed to overtly name the color of each stimulus as quickly and accurately as possible.…”

The Error-Related Negativity (ERN) is a component of the event-related brain potential (ERP) that is associated with action monitoring and error detection. The present study addressed the question whether or not an ERN occurs after verbal error detection, e.g., during phoneme monitoring. We obtained an ERN following verbal errors which showed a typical decrease in amplitude under severe time pressure. This result demonstrates that the functioning of the verbal self-monitoring system is comparable to other performance monitoring, such as action monitoring. Furthermore, we found that participants made more errors in phoneme monitoring under time pressure than in a control condition. This may suggest that time pressure decreases the amount of resources available to a capacity-limited self-monitor thereby leading to more errors. IntroductionError monitoring is an important executive function, which helps to adapt, anticipate, learn, correct, and mend the consequences of actions. The neural basis of error monitoring has become a key issue in cognitive neuroscience due to its importance to the aforementioned cognitive skills. A better understanding of its working may offer new insights into the dysfunctions of self-monitoring seen in a range of clinical conditions such as schizophrenia , opiate addicts (Forman et al., 2004), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (Gehring et al., 2000). Progress in identifying the functional characteristics of the error monitoring system has been mainly achieved through the study of an electrophysiological index thought to be associated with error processing, i.e., Error-Related Negativity (ERN; Falkenstein et al., 1991;Gehring et al., 1993). The ERN is a component of the event-related potential (ERP) that has a fronto-central scalp distribution and peaks about 80 ms after an overt incorrect response (Bernstein et al., 1995;Holroyd and Yeung, 2003;Scheffers et al., 1996). The early onset latency of the ERN with respect to the incorrect response is suggestive of an error monitoring system. The generation of the ERN has been localized in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC; Dehaene et al., 1994;Holroyd and Coles, 2002). Several hypotheses of performance monitoring have been proposed to account for the ERN, for instance, the mismatch hypothesis put forward by Falkenstein et al. (1991), the response conflict hypothesis proposed by Carter et al. (1998), and the reinforcement learning theory by Holroyd and Coles (2002).The mismatch hypothesis considers the ERN as the result of a mismatch between the intended and the actual response execution (Bernstein et al., 1995). This hypothesis assumes a comparison between the internal representation of the intended correct response, arising from ongoing stimulus processing, and the internal representation of the actual
