“…The same study also found BART performance to be associated with deficiencies in behavioral constraint in adults (Lejuez et al, 2002). In a sample of young adults, antisocial behavior measures were positively correlated with risk-taking on the BART (Hunt et al, 2005). In a study differentiating smokers from nonsmokers, the BART was more effective than the Iowa Gambling Task (Lejuez et al, 2003a).…”

BACKGROUND-Alcoholism is characterized by impaired decision-making (i.e., choosing intoxication in the face of mounting negative consequences). This impairment may involve a reduced brain response to the negative consequences of behavior, which supports an inclination to engage in risky behaviors. The feedback error-related negativity (F-ERN) is hypothesized to reflect the valence attached to the negative consequences of behavior. Performance on the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) measures risk-taking propensity. We recorded F-ERNs during the BART and during a BART simulation, where individuals observed the rewards and consequences of (someone else's) BART performance.METHODS-EEGs were recorded on 22 actively drinking, treatment-naïve alcoholics during the BART and BART simulation. F-ERNs were measured and their association with psychological and alcohol use measures was examined. RESULTS-F-ERNsover fronto-central electrode sites were observed to balloon pops in the BART and BART simulation. F-ERNs during the BART were more than twice the amplitude of F-ERNs during the BART simulation. Smaller F-ERN amplitudes from the BART (but not the BART simulation) were associated with a greater family history density of alcohol problems. CONCLUSION-The results suggest a possible link between the genetic vulnerability toward developing alcoholism and the brain's response to the negative consequences of behavior.

“…The SRP9II was designed to parallel the PCL9R model of psychopathy using self9report. Hunt et al (2005) found correlations between risk9taking on the BART and Factor 2 ("Antisocial Behavior") of the SRP9II. These two studies offer conflicting findings regarding the relationship between the BART and psychopathy, although notably across two different samples.…”

“…Hence, one might expect risk9taking behavior on the BART from an individual who shows high scores on the Disinhibition subscale. Further, Hunt et al (2005) found a relationship between SRP9II factor two (antisocial behavior) and the BART. Hence, we hypothesised that the Disinhibition scale would be positively related to BART scores.…”

“…Unfortunately, relationships with the facets of the PCL9R were not reported in this study. In comparison, Hunt, Hopko, Bare, Lejuez, and Robinson (2005) examined the relationship between BART and the Self9Report Psychopathy Scale (SRP9II; Hare, 1991b) in a sample of male and female undergraduate students. The SRP9II was designed to parallel the PCL9R model of psychopathy using self9report.…”

“…It would be valuable, therefore, to have further tests of PCL9R and BART to establish the reliability and generalizability of this null result. Hunt et al (2005) used a non9forensic sample of both genders and measured psychopathy via the SRP9II. Like the present study, they also found that global levels of psychopathy were related to greater risk9taking behavior.…”

For many applications pertaining to neuroimaging, social science, international relations, chemometrics, genomics, and molecular omics, datasets often involve variables which are best represented in the form of a multidimensional array or tensor , which extends the familiar two‐way data matrix into higher dimensions. Rather than vectorizing tensor‐valued variables prior to analysis which results in loss of inference, new methods have emerged developing regression relationships between variables with either tensor‐valued response(s) or predictor(s). Bayesian approaches, in particular, have shown great promise in applications pertaining to tensor regressions. A remarkable feature of fully Bayesian approaches is that they allow flexible modeling of tensor‐valued parameters in the regressions involving tensor variables and naturally offer characterization of uncertainty in the parametric and predictive inferences. This article provides a review of some relevant Bayesian models on tensor regressions developed in recent years. We divide methods according to the objective of the analysis. We begin with tensor regression approaches with a scalar response and a tensor‐valued covariate and discuss both parametric and nonparametric modeling options and applications in this framework. We then address the problem of making inference with a tensor response and a vector of covariates, with applications including task‐related brain activation and connectivity studies. Finally, we offer discussion on Bayesian models involving a tensor response and a tensor covariate. Discussion of each model is accompanied by available results on its posterior contraction properties, laying out restrictions on key model parameters (such as the tensor dimensions) to draw accurate posterior inference.
