前扣带皮层（ACC）的活动与错误检测和冲突监控的过程以及随后的认知控制机制的参与有关。错误相关负性 (ERN) 是与 ACC 监测过程相关的电生理信号，在发生错误后大约 100 毫秒发生。当前的研究探讨了 ERN 大小的个体差异预测与认知控制相关的表现结果的可能性。本科生完成了一项颜色命名斯特鲁普任务，同时通过脑电图记录他们的神经活动。结果表明，按照官方学生成绩单衡量，较大的 ERN 错误与更好的学业成绩显着相关。因此，在需要时监控绩效和参与认知控制机制的更强能力似乎与改善现实世界的绩效相关。
Activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been linked to the processes of error detection and conflict monitoring, along with the subsequent engagement of cognitive-control mechanisms. The error-related negativity (ERN) is an electrophysiological signal associated with this ACC monitoring process, occurring approximately 100 ms after an error is made. The current study examined the possibility that individual differences in ERN magnitude would predict performance outcomes related to cognitive control. Undergraduate students completed a color-naming Stroop task while their neural activity was recorded via electroencephalogram. Results indicated that a larger ERN following errors was significantly correlated with better academic performance as measured by official student transcripts. A greater ability to monitor performance and engage cognitive-control mechanisms when needed thus appears associated with improved real-world performance.
