Meeting of minds: the medial frontal cortex and social cognition (2006, background): “, when errors lead to large versus small monetary losse”
Motivation and cognitive control: from behavior to neural mechanism. (2015, background): “Hajcak et al. (2005), for example, observed a larger ERN on trials where a large reward for correct performance was at stake relative to trials involving a smaller potential reward (see also Stürmer et al. 2011).”
The Influence of Exercise on Cognitive Abilities (2013, unknown): “Prior research had indicated that ERN amplitude increases during accuracy, compared to speed, instructions due to motivational factors associated with enhanced importance or salience of errors (70, 79) or due to an increase in attentional focus (197).”
Toward an evolutionary social neuroscience of religion (2011, background): “This may be why error-related brain activity is related to better academic performance, and to task engagement and motivation more generally (Hajcak et al., 2005; Hirsh & Inzlicht, 2010).”
