Subclaims¶

q3 i3 RTs on correct hits following false alarms were longer than those following correct hits (F(1, 122) = 55.81, p < 0.001, η2p = 0.31), with no Accuracy x Mindset interaction; post-error and post-correct accuracy did not differ without the covariate. → Schroder Hans S. 2017

Repeated-measures ANOVA on post-error behavioral adjustments in the 123-child go/no-go sample. Post-error slowing was significant (η2p = 0.31); the mindset interaction was null (F(1, 121) = 0.003, p = 0.95), and post-error accuracy did not differ from post-correct accuracy (F(1, 121) = 0.33, p = 0.57).

"the main effect of Accuracy (Post-error vs. Post-correct) was significant for RT (F(1, 122) = 55.81, p < 0.001, η2p = 0.31) such that RTs on correct-hits that followed false alarms were longer than RTs on correct-hits that followed correct-hits"

Related Claims¶

• Post-error slowing occurs in the 2-back condition despite absence of feedback — related
• Growth mindset endorsement is associated with higher post-error accuracy but not post-correct accuracy in children
• Growth mindset is unrelated to the ERN (early, automatic error-processing component) in children — related
