The Context Matters: Outcome Probability and Expectation Mismatch Modulate the Feedback Negativity When Self-Evaluation of Response Correctness Is Possible

Table 1

Overview of outcome probability precues, response types, and feedback valence. The mean number of artefact-free FN epochs is given in the note.

Outcome probability precue	Response	Feedback valence
100% outcome probability precue “#”	Correct	No-loss	—
	Incorrect	—	Monetary loss
50% outcome probability precue “?”	Correct	No-loss	Monetary loss
	Incorrect	No-loss	Monetary loss

Note. To have at least five artefact-free FN epochs for monetary loss trials, FN epochs with a monetary loss of 2 Cents and 4 Cents were collapsed. Thus, variations of the FN amplitude depending on magnitude of monetary loss were not investigated in this study.
