  • ADHD = attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; CI = confidence interval; ERN = error-related negativity; k = number of studies included in the model; SMD = standardized mean difference.

  • Random models with moderators for ERN studies, except for internalizing comorbidity (fewer than 3 studies).
