Abstract
We investigated whether individual differences in measures of cognitive control influenced error-related negativity (ERN) amplitudes elicited from a visual flanker task. ERN reflects the activity of a prefrontal-anterior cingulate cortex system that detects and corrects for errors. Regression analyses indicated that inhibitory control and abstract reasoning predicted ERN amplitudes.
