al., 2006; Curtin & Fairchild, 2003) also have shown that alcohol attenuates FSW amplitude during cognitive control tasks. To our knowledge, however, no previous study has investigated whether the FSW is sensitive to the accuracy of the previous trial. If alcohol’s impairment of control is evident when control adjustments are most needed, FSW amplitude should be attenuated by alcohol on post-error trials, but be unaffected by alcohol on trials that follow correct responses.
