Error monitoring during task execution is reflected in post-error slowing (PES), which refers to the tendency to slow down performance after making an error in order to prevent future mistakes. The key question of the present study is whether poor error monitoring (reduced magnitude of PES) has negative consequences for daily life executive function skills, as well as functioning in different life settings such as work, family, social, and academic settings. Eighty-five university students performed a lexical decision task and completed The Executive Function Index Scale (EFI), and the Weiss Functional Impairments Rating Scale (WFIRS). Individual academic achievement was measured using the Grade Point Average. Statistical analysis revealed that a decreased magnitude of PES was weakly associated with less efficient planning (one of the executive functions). Results suggest that error monitoring, as measured by PES, was not associated with functioning in a naturalistic environment, but could be interpreted to some extent as an experimental marker of planning in daily life executive functioning.
任务执行过程中的错误监控反映在事后减缓（PES）中，它是指在犯错后为了防止未来犯错而倾向于减缓表现的趋势。本研究的关键问题是，错误监控不佳（PES 幅度减小）是否会对日常生活执行功能技能以及工作、家庭、社交和学术等不同生活环境中的功能产生负面影响。85 名大学生执行了词汇决策任务，并完成了《执行功能指数量表》（EFI）和《Weiss 功能障碍评定量表》（WFIRS）。个人学业成绩用平均绩点来衡量。统计分析显示，PES 幅度减小与规划效率较低（执行功能之一）呈弱相关。结果表明，PES 测量的错误监控与自然环境中的功能无关，但在某种程度上可以解释为日常生活执行功能中规划的实验指标。
