A computational perspective on the roles of affect in cognitive control
Publication date: Available online 4 February 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Ivan Grahek, Sebastian Musslick, Amitai ShenhavAbstractPrevious work has demonstrated that cognitive control can be influenced by affect, both when it is tied to the anticipated outcomes for cognitive performance (integral affect) and when affect is induced independently of performance (incidental affect). However, the mechanisms through which such interactions occur remain debated, in part because they have yet to be formalized in a way that allows experimenters to test quantitative predictions of a putative mecha...

Error-monitoring across social and affective processing contexts
Publication date: Available online 28 January 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Takakuni Suzuki, Belel Ait Oumeziane, Keisha Novak, Douglas B. Samuel, Dan FotiAbstractThe error-related negativity (ERN) is one of the most researched event-related potentials in the study of cognitive control, and it is thought to capture preconscious error-monitoring. ERN amplitude is known to be modulated by trait and state differences in affect, yet most ERN studies use ‘cold’ cognitive tasks that do not directly target affective processes involved in cognitive control. For example, speeded response-time t...

The interaction effect between dopamine and task difficulty: Spontaneous eye blink rates diversely relate with Nogo-N2 across various task difficulties
Publication date: Available online 27 January 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Ting Zhang, Lurong Yu, Xianzhong HanAbstractNogo- N2 and P3 are the two major components in the neural time course of response inhibition (RI) and are both related, albeit differently, to dopamine (DA). However, contradictory results from previous studies imply that there may be an interaction effect between DA and task difficulty on the neural time course of RI. To investigate this, we assessed the correlation between spontaneous eye blink rate (EBR) and N2/P3 elicited by the Go/Nogo tasks across various task diff...

When classical music relaxes the brain: An experimental study using Ultrasound Brain Tissue Pulsatility Imaging
We report, for the first time, that classical relaxing music decreases the amplitude of the brain pulsatile movements related to cerebral blood flow and mechanical properties of the brain parenchyma, which provides further evidence of the involvement of BTP in emotional reactivity. In addition, we validate the use of TPI as a non-invasive, portable and low cost tool for studies in psychophysiology, with the potential to be implemented as a biomarker in musicotherapy trials notably.

A registered report of error-related negativity and reward positivity as biomarkers of depression: P-Curving the evidence
Publication date: Available online 24 January 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Peter E. Clayson, Kaylie A. Carbine, Michael J. LarsonAbstractPerformance-monitoring event-related brain potentials (ERPs), such as the error-related negativity (ERN) and reward positivity (RewP), are advocated as biomarkers of depression symptoms and risk. However, a recent meta-analysis indicated effect size heterogeneity in the ERN and RewP literatures. Hence, advocating these ERPs as biomarkers of depression might be premature or possibly misguided due to the selective reporting of significant analyses on the p...

Individual differences under acute stress: Higher cortisol responders performs better on N-back task in young men
This study assessed the role of cortisol responsiveness in the effects of psychosocial stress on working memory. To examine working memory processes, we analyzed both behavioral performances such as accuracy, response time, the inverse efficiency score, and event-related potentials (ERPs), including N1, P2, and P3. A total of 67 male college students completed a numerical 2-back task after being exposed to the Trier Social Stress Task (TSST) or a control task. The results showed shorter response time, better efficiency, and larger N1 and P2 amplitudes in the high-cortisol-responders compared to the low-cortisol-responders ...

A tradeoff relationship between internal monitoring and external feedback during the dynamic process of reinforcement learning
Publication date: Available online 23 January 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Chunlei Liu, Zhenzhen HuoAbstractEffective behavior monitoring, including internal monitoring/error detection and external monitoring/feedback, is very pivotal for reinforcement learning. However, less attention has been paid to internal monitoring and the dynamic learning performance in reinforcement learning, and there is still a heated debate on which kind of external feedback is relied on in the reinforcement learning. In order to address these questions, an adaption probabilistic selection task was used to exa...

Boosting attachment security to cope with threats: Behavioral and ERPs findings
Publication date: Available online 13 January 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Lili Wu, Ruolei Gu, Xiaoxuan Shi, Beiyi Wang, Jianxin ZhangAbstractAttachment security describes a sense of safety and security felt by individuals and promotes mental health. The mechanism by which attachment security buffers against psychological threat remains unclear, however. Here, we explored how attachment security attenuates the response to threatening information using a signal detection theory (SDT) and event-related potentials (ERPs) approach. Participants were assigned to an attachment security priming ...

Trait impulsiveness and response inhibition in young adults: Moderating role of resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia
Publication date: Available online 9 January 2020Source: International Journal of PsychophysiologyAuthor(s): Wanying Xing, Wei Lü, Zhenhong WangAbstractTrait impulsiveness is a multifaceted construct that includes motor-, attention/cognitive- and non-planning facets, but how specific impulsiveness facets are associated with the deficit of response inhibition is not well understood. Resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), which is considered as an index of cardiac vagal tone has been demonstrated to play a moderating role in the associations between many individual's variables. Whether resting RSA moderates the relatio...
