Abstract
This fMRI study investigated the neural correlates of error monitoring in 8-12 year old children from Montessori and traditionally-schooled settings. While both groups showed similar accuracy, Montessori students exhibited faster response times, fewer skipped trials, and increased neural activity in parietal and frontal regions associated with math processing. Traditionally schooled children showed stronger functional connectivity between the ACC and hippocampus following correct trials, whereas Montessori students displayed greater connectivity between the ACC and frontal regions after incorrect trials. These findings suggest that pedagogical approaches significantly influence the development of error monitoring and its neural underpinnings.
