Journal Article
Dixon, B. J., Kumar, J., & Danielmeier, C. (2022). Frontal neural metabolite changes in schizophrenia and their association with cognitive control: A systematic review. Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 132, 224-247. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2021.11.010

A large proportion of patients with schizophrenia exhibit deficits in cognitive control functions including working memory, processing speed and inhibitory control, which have been associated with frontal brain areas. In this systematic review, we in... Read More about Frontal neural metabolite changes in schizophrenia and their association with cognitive control: A systematic review.

Unbiased post-error slowing in interference tasks: A confound and a simple solution (2021)
Journal Article
Derrfuss, J., Danielmeier, C., Klein, T. A., Fischer, A. G., & Ullsperger, M. (2022). Unbiased post-error slowing in interference tasks: A confound and a simple solution. Behavior Research Methods, 54(3), 1416-1427. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-021-01673-8

We typically slow down after committing an error, an effect termed post-error slowing (PES). Traditionally, PES has been calculated by subtracting post-correct from post-error RTs. Dutilh et al. (Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 56(3), 208-216, 20... Read More about Unbiased post-error slowing in interference tasks: A confound and a simple solution.

High Schizotypy Predicts Emotion Recognition Independently of Negative Affect (2021)
Journal Article
Dawes, C., Danielmeier, C., Haselgrove, M., & Moran, P. M. (2021). High Schizotypy Predicts Emotion Recognition Independently of Negative Affect. Frontiers in Psychiatry, 12, Article 738344. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2021.738344

Introduction: Deficits in Emotion Recognition (ER) contribute significantly to poorer functional outcomes in people with schizophrenia. However, rather than reflecting a core symptom of schizophrenia, reduced ER has been suggested to reflect increase...

Neural and behavioral traces of error awareness (2020)
Journal Article
Kirschner, H., Humann, J., Derrfuss, J., Danielmeier, C., & Ullsperger, M. (2021). Neural and behavioral traces of error awareness. Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Neuroscience, 21, 573-591. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13415-020-00838-w

Monitoring for errors and behavioral adjustments after errors are essential for daily life. A question that has not been addressed systematically yet, is whether consciously perceived errors lead to different behavioral adjustments compared to unperc...

The Role of Conflicting Representations and Uncertainty in Internal Error Detection During L2 Learning (2020)
Journal Article
Bultena, S., Danielmeier, C., Bekkering, H., & Lemhöfer, K. (2020). The Role of Conflicting Representations and Uncertainty in Internal Error Detection During L2 Learning. Language Learning, 70(S2), 75-103. https://doi.org/10.1111/lang.12401

Internal error monitoring as reflected by the error-related negativity (ERN) component can give insight in the L2 learning process. Yet, beginning stages of learning are characterized by high levels of uncertainty, which obscures the process of error...

Cortical beta power reflects decision dynamics and uncovers multiple facets of post-error adaptation (2018)
Journal Article
Fischer, A. G., Nigbur, R., Klein, T. A., Danielmeier, C., & Ullsperger, M. (2018). Cortical beta power reflects decision dynamics and uncovers multiple facets of post-error adaptation. Nature Communications, 9, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-07456-8

© 2018, The Author(s). Adapting to errors quickly is essential for survival. Reactionslowing after errors is commonly observed but whether this slowing is adaptive or maladaptive is unclear. Here, we analyse a large dataset from a flanker task using... Read More about Cortical beta power reflects decision dynamics and uncovers multiple facets of post-error adaptation.

Electrophysiological correlates of error monitoring and feedback processing in second language learning (2017)
Journal Article
Bultena, S., Danielmeier, C., Bekkering, H., & Lemhöfer, K. (2017). Electrophysiological correlates of error monitoring and feedback processing in second language learning. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 11(29), https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2017.00029

Humans monitor their behavior to optimize performance, which presumably relies on stable representations of correct responses. During second language (L2) learning, however, stable representations have yet to be formed while knowledge of the first la...

Gender influences on brain responses to errors and post-error adjustments (2016)
Journal Article
Fischer, A. G., Danielmeier, C., Villringer, A., Klein, T. A., & Ullsperger, M. (2016). Gender influences on brain responses to errors and post-error adjustments. Scientific Reports, 6, Article 24435. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep24435

Sexual dimorphisms have been observed in many species, including humans, and extend to the prevalence and presentation of important mental disorders associated with performance monitoring malfunctions. However, precisely which underlying differences... Read More about Gender influences on brain responses to errors and post-error adjustments.

Reducing speed and sight: how adaptive is post-error slowing? (2016)
Journal Article
Ullsperger, M., & Danielmeier, C. (2016). Reducing speed and sight: how adaptive is post-error slowing?. Neuron, 89(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2016.01.035

After errors, humans and monkeys dynamically change decision boundaries which results in posterror slowing of decisions. Simultaneously decreased sensitivity to sensory information counteracts post-error increases in accuracy. Early post-error adjust...

Acetylcholine mediates behavioral and neural post-error control (2015)
Journal Article
Allen, E., Danielmeier, C., Jocham, G., Onur, O., Eichele, T., & Ullsperger, M. (2015). Acetylcholine mediates behavioral and neural post-error control. Current Biology, 25(11), 1461-1468. doi:10.1016/j.cub.2015.04.022

Humans often commit errors when they are distracted by irrelevant information and no longer focus on what is relevant to the task at hand. Adjustments following errors are essential for optimizing goal achievement. The posterior medial frontal cortex... Read More about Acetylcholine mediates behavioral and neural post-error control.
