Background:

The error-likelihood model (ELM) suggests anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) activity relates to perceived error likelihood, not just error occurrence.
Previous research primarily focused on error commission as the driver of ACC activity.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate whether the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is modulated by the perceived likelihood of making an error.
To challenge the assumption that ACC activity is solely driven by error commission.

Main Methods:

Utilized an event-related potential (ERP) study with a word-recognition paradigm.
Manipulated perceived error likelihood by varying the ratio of old and new words in low-risk and high-risk recognition sessions.
Analyzed response-locked ERPs, comparing correct yes-responses to no-responses.

Main Results:

Identified two fronto-central distributed components in response-locked ERPs.
Observed differentiations between yes- and no-responses, particularly in the error-related negativity (ERN) time range.
Found an enlarged negativity for yes-responses in high-risk compared to low-risk sessions, supporting the ELM.

Conclusions:

Results support the error-likelihood model (ELM).
Demonstrated that anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) activation is influenced by the perceived likelihood of committing an error.
Indicated that ACC modulation is not solely dependent on the correctness of a response.
