Effects of crossmodal divided attention on late ERP components. II. Error processing in choice reaction tasks

Reaction times and event-related potentials in correct and incorrect trials were studied in a bimanual choice reaction task. In a focused attention (FA) condition, the stimulus modality was constant (visual or auditory); in a divided attention (DA) condition, the modality was varied at random from trial to trial. Stimulus- and response-triggered averages were computed from the midline EEG leads. In error trials, the ERP amplitude was reduced in...
