Dissociable processes of cognitive control during error and non-error conflicts: a study of the stop signal task.

<h4>Background</h4>Conflict detection and subsequent behavioral adjustment are critical to daily life, and how this process is controlled has been increasingly of interest. A medial cortical region which includes the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been theorized to act as a conflict...
