{{cquote|As [[Seneca|Seneca the Younger]] put it, "To err is human, but to persist is diabolical." To prevent repetition of errors, human performance monitoring often triggers adaptations such as general slowing and/or attentional focusing. The posterior medial frontal cortex (pMFC) is assumed to monitor performance problems and to interact with other brain areas that implement the necessary adaptations. Whereas previous research showed interactions between pMFC and lateral-prefrontal regions, here we demonstrate that upon the occurrence of errors the pMFC selectively interacts with perceptual and motor regions and thereby drives attentional focusing toward task-relevant information and induces motor adaptation observed as post-error slowing.<ref>[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21289188 J Neurosci. 2011 Feb 2;31(5):1780-9. doi: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.4299-10.2011.]</ref>}}

The medical journal article ''Neurophysiology of Performance Monitoring and Adaptive Behavior''
published in ''Physiological Reviews'' declares:
{{cquote|In addition to own, self-generated errors, humans can also detect when other persons make mistakes, adjust their own behavior accordingly, and learn to avoid similar mistakes. The observation of mistakes committed by others elicits a frontocentrally distributed negative ERP deflection similar to the FRN to visual feedback (134, 302, 354, 544). Source localization of this observed-error-related negativity (oERN) again hints at the pMFC.<ref>[Neurophysiology of Performance Monitoring and Adaptive Behavior], Markus Ullsperger, Claudia Danielmeier, Gerhard Jocham, Physiological Reviews Published 1 January 2014 Vol. 94 no. 1, 35-79 DOI: 10.1152/physrev.00041.2012<ref>}}
