2. Does being motivated to avoid procedural errors influence their systematicity?
   Jonathan Back, UCL, Wai Lok Cheng, QMUL, Rob Dann, QMUL, Paul Curzon, QMUL, Ann Blandford, UCL
   Even when individuals are strongly motivated to avoid post-completion errors user performance remains vulnerable to this error type. Within engaging environments this vulnerability is likely to be more exposed.
