Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to explore automatic error detection processes and those eye movement processes. Subjects were asked to judge whether the sum of underlined two numbers is congruent with a right end number when a numerical expression, e.g. “1*+4=5* 6”, was presented. * showed underlined numbers. The results showed a significant delay for the expression included incorrect formula, “1*+4=6* 7”, but not for the expression included correct formula. These results suggested that the delay was caused by the incorrect formula and automatic error monitoring process was driven by the incorrect formula.
