Carbohydrate mouth rinse has no effects on behavioral or neuroelectric indices of cognition
Publication date: Available online 19 February 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Madison C. Chandler, Amanda L. McGowan, David P. Ferguson, Matthew B. PontifexAbstractRinsing the mouth with a carbohydrate solution has been suggested as a means to enhance aspects of both physical and cognitive performance. However, evidence in support of these assertions is relatively weak. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a carbohydrate mouth rinse solution on motor speed, inhibition, and sustained attention as indexed by both behavioral and neuroelectric measures. Using a double-bli...

The utility of combining respiratory sinus arrhythmia indices in association with internet addiction
Publication date: Available online 19 February 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Hui Zhang, Yun Luo, Yufan Lan, Kiara BarrowAbstractThe aim of this study is to examine the association of the combined indices of respiratory sinus arrhythmia at rest (basal RSA) and in response to a mental arithmetic task (RSA reactivity) to internet addiction. Participants included 99 young adults (61 men and 38 women) who reported on their levels of internet addiction. The results indicated that RSA reactivity moderated the association between basal RSA and self-reported internet addiction. This showcased that ...

Co-stimulation-removed audiovisual semantic integration and modulation of attention: An event-related potential study
Publication date: Available online 12 February 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Yang Xi, Qi Li, Ning Gao, Guangjian Li, Weihong Lin, Jinglong WuAbstractThe integration of multisensory objects containing semantic information involves processing of both low-level co-stimulation and high-order semantic integration. To investigate audiovisual semantic integration, we utilized bimodal stimuli (AV, simultaneous presentation of an auditory sound and a visual picture; An, simultaneous presentation of an auditory sound and a visual noise; Vn, simultaneous presentation of a visual picture and an audito...

Brief report on the relationship between temporal discount rate and error related negativity for immediate versus future choice options
Publication date: Available online 11 February 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Andrea L. Patalano, Sydney L. Lolli, Charles A. SanislowAbstractIt is well documented that individuals vary in their economic patience – their willingness to choose delayed larger rewards (e.g., $100 in a month) over immediate smaller rewards (e.g., $25 now)—and that high levels of impatience, or temporal discounting, can be behaviorally problematic. Using event-related potential (ERP) method, we investigated error monitoring, as indexed by the error related negativity (ERN) component, as a function of discoun...

EEG beta power increase indicates inhibition in motor memory
We examined whether beta power increase accompanies inhibition in human motor memory, focusing the phenomenon of retrieval-induced forgetting that has been assumed to be the consequence of inhibition in memory. Whereas most studies on this effect comprise word materials, a variant of the retrieval-induced-forgetting paradigm exists for examining motor memory. In the present study, we recorded scalp EEG during this motor-specific variant and examined EEG oscillatory correlates of retrieval-induced slowing of motor actions. Here, forgetting occurred in the form of significant slowing when executing motor sequences in a final...

Poor inhibition of personally-relevant facial expressions of sadness and anger predicts an elevated cortisol response following awakening six months later
Publication date: Available online 11 February 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Shiu F. Wong, Florencia Trespalacios, Mark A. EllenbogenAbstractFailure to inhibit interference from distracting emotional stimuli may obstruct an individual's ability to regulate their behavioural and emotional responses to environmental stressors. Few studies have examined the longitudinal association between cognitive inhibition and regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) in the natural environment. Seventy-nine healthy adults underwent two assessments 6 months apart. Participants' ability...

Electrocortical indices of subjectively perceived confidence in episodic memory
Publication date: Available online 11 February 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Syanah C. Wynn, Roy P.C. Kessels, Dennis J.L.G. SchutterAbstractElectrophysiological studies on recognition memory have identified several brain signals that are associated with subjective perceived confidence. However, the extent these brain signals reflect a generic process and are independent of the type of information recognized remains an open question. To address this issue, twenty-seven healthy volunteers performed an episodic memory task while their electro-encephalogram (EEG) was recorded. Participants en...

The effects of a brief motivation manipulation on reward responsiveness: A multi-method study with implications for depression
Publication date: Available online 7 February 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Samantha Pegg, Autumn KujawaAbstractIndividual differences in reward responsiveness can be reliably measured at the neurophysiological level using the reward positivity (RewP) event-related potential (ERP). Alterations in reward responsiveness impact physical and psychological health. In particular, prior research indicates that a reduced RewP prospectively predicts depressive symptoms. However, it remains unclear whether RewP can be modified through intervention or prevention. The present study examined the effect...

Social distance modulates prosocial behaviors in the gain and loss contexts: An event-related potential (ERP) study
This study aimed at examining how social distance modulates costly prosocial behaviors in the gain (i.e., helping another win a good outcome) and loss contexts (i.e., helping another avoid a bad outcome). To this end, participants were instructed to choose between two lotteries – One of the two lotteries was costly to their payment and always better than the other, which would result in the other person having a greater chance of ending up with more money – to give another person (a friend or a stranger) in the gain or loss context while electroencephalograms (EEGs) were recorded. The behavioral results demonstrated th...

Common and specific dimensions of internalizing disorders are characterized by unique patterns of brain activity on a task of emotional cognitive control
Publication date: Available online 4 February 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Marie T. Banich, Louisa L. Smith, Harry R. Smolker, Benjamin L. Hankin, Rebecca L. Silton, Wendy Heller, Hannah R. SnyderAbstractAlterations in neural systems underlying cognitive control are well-documented across individuals with various internalizing disorders. The current study examined how individual differences in underlying traits related to internalizing disorders influence brain activation, as assessed by fMRI, when cognitive control must be exerted to make a decision about the emotional valence (positive,...
