  text: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Supplementing an earlier analysis
    of event‐related potentials in extensive motor learning (Margraf et al., 2022a,
    2022b), frontal theta‐band activity (4–8 Hz) was scrutinized. Thirty‐seven participants
    learned a sequential arm movement with 192 trials in each of five practice sessions.
    Feedback, based on a performance adaptive bandwidth, was given after every trial.
    Electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded in the first and last practice sessions.
    The degree of motor automatization was tested under dual‐task conditions in a
    pre‐test–post‐test design. Quantitative error information was transported in both
    feedback conditions (positive and negative). Frontal theta activity was discussed
    as a general signal that cognitive control is needed and, therefore, was expected
    to be higher after negative feedback. Extensive motor practice promotes automatization,
    and therefore, decreased frontal theta activity was expected in the later practice.
    Further, it was expected that frontal theta was predictive for subsequent behavioural
    adaptations and the amount of motor automatization. As the results show, induced
    frontal theta power was higher after negative feedback and decreased after five
    sessions of practice. Moreover, induced theta activity was predictive for error
    correction and, therefore, an indicator of whether the recruited cognitive resources
    successfully induced behavioural adaptations. It remains to be solved why these
    effects, which fit well with the theoretical assumptions, were only revealed by
    the induced part of frontal theta activity. Further, the amount of theta activity
    during practice was not predictive for the degree of motor automatization. It
    seems that there might be a dissociation between attentional resources associated
    with feedback processing and attentional resources associated with motor control.</jats:p>
