Abstract
Factors mediating performance monitoring in humans—from context to personality
Highlights
In everyday life, we constantly monitor our behavior and adapt our responses following performance errors and feedback information from the environment
Whether we feel sorry for their failures and happy about their successes may depend on our empathic concern and on the relationship to the observed person
The present e-book, which is based on our Frontiers Research Topic entitled “Factors mediating performance monitoring in humans—from context to personality,” encompasses both reviews and original research articles which explore the neurocognitive mechanisms supporting performance monitoring providing a link to contextual factors or personality traits
Summary
We constantly monitor our behavior and adapt our responses following performance errors and feedback information from the environment. The overarching theoretical framework for the current Research Topic is presented in three review articles: Thoma and Bellebaum (2012) aimed to link the electrophysiological correlates of performance monitoring, in particular, the mediofrontal negative components error-related negativity (ERN) and feedback-related negativity (FRN), to the concept of empathy.
