Highlights • The development of error detection and correction was studied in 6–14 years-old children and adolescents.• Force and electromyographic activity of button presses were recorded during the performance of a choice-response time task.• The motor activity had a similar initial part for correct and incorrect responses but was quickly reduced for errors.• This reduction occurs during error commission and reflects a desperate attempt to inhibit the ongoing error.• Such error inhibition was present in the youngest children already and was similar across childhood.
