The Cognitive Neuroscience of Metacognition (2014, background): “A third, somewhat different, line of criticism has questioned the similarity of various confidence tests to confidence-reporting tests that can be performed by humans [4, 69, 70].”
Neural mechanisms involved in error processing: A comparison of errors made with and without awareness (2005, background): “The cognitive neuroscience theories that characterise how a performance error is processed by the brain focus almost exclusively on error detection, without assuming that an individual is conscious of this process (see Yeung et al. (2004) for an interesting exception).”
A computational model of anterior cingulate function in speeded response tasks: Effects of frequency, sequence, and conflict (2002, positive): “On the basis of the previous literature on speeded response tasks (Laming, 1968;Rabbitt, 1966) and our own previous simulation studies (Botvinick et al., 2001; Yeung et al., 2002), we assumed that trials on which an error was made would have high conflict.”
Hierarchical Error Representation: A Computational Model of Anterior Cingulate and Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (2015, positive): “, the conflict model (Botvinick et al., 2001; Yeung et al., 2004).”
Why do beliefs about intelligence influence learning success? A social cognitive neuroscience model. (2006, background): “Rather, results from that study were more consistent with the view that the FRN indexes the initial detection of outcome valence in a binary fashion (good–bad; Hajcak et al., 2005; Yeung et al., 2004), whereas the subsequent P3 registers the effects of conflict between this outcome and prior expecta”
Time Discounting for Primary Rewards (2007, background): “A growing body of evidence suggests that a dorsocaudal region of the ACC responds to conflicts in processing (Carter et al., 1998; Botvinick et al., 2004; Yeung et al., 2004).”
Performance Monitoring in the Anterior Cingulate is Not All Error Related: Expectancy Deviation and the Representation of Action-Outcome Associations (2007, background): “According to conflict-monitoring theory, conflict at the response level triggers the ERN (Yeung et al., 2004; van Veen, Cohen, Botvinick, Stenger, & Carter, 2001), whereas according to reinforcement-learning theory, reward-prediction errors are the trigger to the response-elicited ERN and the FRN…”
Habits—A Repeat Performance (2006, background): “Given that habits are not guided by goals, how are they regulated? One answer comes from research on the brain systems involved with conflict monitoring ( Yeung, Botvinick, & Cohen, 2004 ).”
Towards an executive without a homunculus: computational models of the prefrontal cortex/basal ganglia system (2007, background): “…al. 1995); the 1-2-AX (O'Reilly & Frank 2006); the Wisconsin card sort task (WCST; Rougier & O'Reilly 2002); the intradimensional/ extradimensional (ID/ED) dynamic categorization task (O'Reilly et al. 2002); and the Eriksen flanker task (Cohen et al. 1992; Bogacz & Cohen 2004; Yeung et al. 2004).”
Dissociable components of error processing: On the functional significance of the Pe vis-à-vis the ERN/Ne (2005, background): “The detection of postresponse conflict on error trials has been proposed as a mechanistic account of internal error detection (Yeung et al., 2004).”
The Influence of Exercise on Cognitive Abilities (2013, neutral): “Prior research had indicated that ERN 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 in attentional focus (197).”
