“…Interestingly, previous ERP studies already reported decreased Pe amplitude during error monitoring in depression or trait-related negative affect (Aarts et al, 2013;Alexopoulos et al, 2007;A. J. Holmes & Pizzagalli, 2010;Olvet et al, 2010;Schrijvers et al, 2009;Schroder et al, 2013),which can be considered -with some reservation however since trait and state effects do not always produce comparable changes in PM -as the opposite mood state compared to the emotion (transiently) experienced in the happy mood group in this study, yet with a similar electrophysiological effect seen in both cases.…”

“…Noteworthy, the lack of group differences at the behavioral level (speed and accuracy) was not odd in the present case, but expected given the specifics of the Go/NoGo task used. Since the RT deadline was calibrated and updated at the single subject level, it inevitably led to a comparable number of response errors (and balanced speed) between the two groups, as already reported in previous studies using the same task and between-subjects experimental design (see Aarts & Pourtois, 2010;Aarts et al, 2013;Koban, Brass, Lynn, & Pourtois, 2012;Rigoni, Pourtois, & Brass, 2015;Walentowska, Moors, Paul, & Pourtois, 2016).…”

“…Participants performed a modified version of a speeded Go/NoGo task that was previously used and validated in different studies (Aarts et al, 2013;Pourtois, 2011;Vocat et al, 2008), see Figure 1 for an overview. Visual stimuli consisted of a square or a diamond presented in the center of a white screen.…”

“…Holmes et al, 2006, while they performed a standard speeded Go/NoGo task/procedure. This task is suited to unlock a large number of unwanted response errors, and has been previously validated in a number of studies (Aarts, De Houwer, & Pourtois, 2012;Aarts et al, 2013;Aarts & Pourtois, 2010;Vocat, Pourtois, & Vuilleumier, 2008). The elected mood induction procedure (MIP) was validated in our laboratory across different studies (see Bakic et al, 2014;Vanlessen et al, 2014, MODULATORY EFFECTS OF HAPPY MOOD ON PM 8 2013.…”

Goal adaptive behavior requires the rapid detection of conflicts between actions and intentions or goals.While many studies have focused in the past on the influence of negative affect on this cognitive control process (and more specifically, on error monitoring), little is known about possible modulatory effects of positive affect on it. To address this question, we used a standard (positive) mood induction procedure (based on guided imagery) and asked participants to carry out a speeded Go/NoGo task, while high density EEG was recorded concurrently. As a control condition, we used a group with neutral mood. ERP results showed that the ERN (error-related negativity) component, reflecting early error detection within the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, was not influenced by happy mood. In contrast, the subsequent Pe (error positivity) component, related to the appraisal of the motivational significance of errors, was reliably smaller in the happy relative to the neutral mood group. Complementing source localization analyses showed that this effect was explained by a decreased activation within the posterior cingulate and insular cortices. These results were obtained in the absence of group differences regarding behavioral performance and tonic arousal. These findings suggest that happy mood likely decreases and changes the motivational significance of worse than expected events (Pe), while leaving their earlier automatic detection (ERN) unaltered. We discuss these new results in terms of dynamic changes in the complex interplay of performance monitoring with motivation.

“…Individuals with schizophrenia show reductions in the ERN (Alain et al, 2002;Mathalon et al, 2002), whereas those with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and OCD show increases (Gehring et al, 2000;Endrass and Ullsperger, 2014;Xiao et al, 2011). The findings in major depressive disorder are mixed, with some studies showing increases in ERN amplitude (Chiu and Deldin, 2007;Holmes and Pizzagalli, 2008;Aarts et al, 2013) and others decreases (Ruchsow et al, 2006) or no difference (Compton et al, 2008;Schrijvers et al, 2009). Co-morbid conditions that occur with depression may account for some of the mixed results.…”

The error-related negativity (ERN) is a neuroelectric signature of performance monitoring during speeded response time tasks. Previous studies indicate that individuals with anxiety disorders show ERN enhancements that correlate with the degree of clinical symptomology. Less is known about the error monitoring system in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is characterized by impairments in the regulation of fear and other emotional responses, as well as deficits in maintaining cognitive control. Here, combat Veterans with PTSD were compared to control Veterans in two different versions of the flanker task (n=13 or 14 per group). Replicating and extending previous findings, PTSD patients showed an intact ERN in both experiments. In addition, task performance and error compensation behavior were intact. Finally, ERN amplitude showed no relationship with self-reported PTSD, depression, or post-concussive symptoms. These results suggest that error monitoring represents a relative strength in PTSD that can dissociate from cognitive control functions that are impaired, such as response inhibition and sustained attention. A healthy awareness of errors in external actions could be leveraged to improve interoceptive awareness of emotional state. The results could have positive implications for PTSD treatments that rely on self-monitoring abilities, such as neurofeedback and mindfulness training.
