As an estimate of cognitive control, we measured the RTs for the subsequent correct response after an error, and compared this with the RT’s for other correct responses. We found a significant within-subject valence*task-relevance interaction for this measure (P < 0.05), as well as a within-subject simple effect between task-relevant primes (P < 0.004). There were no significant differences between the four conditions when investigating correct responses after correct responses.
