    In the appendix section, we display all betas for respondent 1 and 5. The results vary considerably depending on the beta and the respondent. This pattern and behavior of the model suggest that 100,000 iterations could not be sufficient to have a robust model. Figure 3 shows the beta distribution of the subset iterations (after 10,001 iterations) for beta 1, beta 2, beta 3, and beta 4. As noticed, these beta values have a low dispersion, unimodal and cryptokurtosys; even though, not all beta values

    Several studies have examined the differences in ERP components under immediate and delayed feedback conditions in healthy adults, particularly the ERN and FRN. While both ERP components occur during the processing of errors, there are some notable differences. The ERN occurs in close temporal distance to motor initiation during responses that result in an error, and peaks at roughly 80-100 ms (Gehring, Goss, Coles, Meyer, & Donchin, 1993; Miltner, Braun, & Coles, 1997; Holroyd & Coles, 2002).
