Reaction time is believed to be a good indicator of the speed and efficiency of mental
processes and is a ubiquitous variable in the behavioral sciences. Despite this popularity …

Unexpected events are part of everyday experience. They come in several varieties—action
errors, unexpected action outcomes, and unexpected perceptual events—and they lead to …

The most replicated result in the field of intelligence is the positive manifold, which refers to
an all-positive pattern of correlations among diverse cognitive tests. The positive manifold is …

Evidence from imaging and anatomical studies suggests that the midcingulate cortex (MCC)
is a dynamic hub lying at the interface of affect and cognition. In particular, this neural system …

Successful goal-directed behavior requires not only correct action selection, planning, and
execution but also the ability to flexibly adapt behavior when performance problems occur or …

Response inhibition is an important act of control in many domains of psychology and
neuroscience. It is often studied in a stop-signal task that requires subjects to inhibit an …

Normal and abnormal differences in sustained visual attention have long been of interest to
scientists, educators, and clinicians. Still lacking, however, is a clear understanding of how …

The ability to detect and correct action errors is paramount to safe and efficient goal‐directed
behaviors. Existing work on the neural underpinnings of error processing and post‐error …

Performance monitoring is a key cognitive function, allowing to detect mistakes and adapt
future behavior. Post-decisional neural signals have been identified that are sensitive to …

Perceptual choices depend not only on the current sensory input but also on the behavioral
context, such as the history of one's own choices. Yet, it remains unknown how such history …
