Interaction of music and error in influencing the behavior. a The normalized response times in after-error (EC: a correct go trial preceded an error in the stop trial) and after-correct (CC: a correct go trial preceded by a correct go trial) trials are shown in music and silent sessions for female and male participants. Response time was longer in the after-error trials in female and male participants. b–c Post-error slowing (EC–CC) was modulated by music depending on the sex of the participants. b While listening to music, post-error slowing decreased in females but it was increased in male participants. c The difference in normalized response time between silent and music sessions is shown in the after-error and after-correct trials
