Abstract: A Go/NO-GO task and an error awareness task were combined to investigate the level of error awareness on error monitoring in children with ADHD.The results showed that the children with ADHD can detect their error reactions.Moreover,the error awareness task can induce the post-error slowing in children with ADHD.It is attributed to that the task can stimulate the awareness detection in the children with ADHD and can increase the inter stimulus interval (ISI) time in the GO/NO-GO task.The results indicated that increasing the ISI time can impel the children with ADHD to change the strategy after making errors,which can improve their abilities of error awareness.

Key words: ADHD, error monitoring, error detection
