Error Regulation, Self-Regulation, and Emotion Regulation
Individuals pause following their errors in choice reaction time tasks, and such post-error adjustments in reaction time are predictive of higher levels of accuracy and activation within brain regions associated with cognitive control. Beyond such cognitive correlates of error regulation, my co-authors and I have proposed that this neurocognitive model may offer unique insights into individual differences in the effective self-regulation of problematic emotional and behavioral tendencies. Recent data from our lab support this view, and relevant results will be presented. The discussion will focus on the utility of an implicit model of error regulation in understanding multiple outcomes such as subjective well-being, psychopathy, and stress-reactivity processes.
