“…VALENCE was significant, F(1, 45) = 14.46, p < .001, η 2 p = 0.24, with a higher accuracy for negative (M = 90.3, SE = 2.0) than positive words (M = 81.2, SE = 2.0). Moreover, the two-way interaction was also significant, F(1, 45) = 21.49, p < .001, η 2 p = 0.32, with a higher accuracy for negative than positive words after FAs (p tukey < 0.001), but no significant difference between negative and positive words after Hits (p tukey = 0.956), in line with a previous study performed on adults (De Saedeleer & Pourtois, 2016).…”

“…More specifically, accumulating evidence shows that response errors are perceived by adults as negative events compared to correct responses (Koban & Pourtois, 2014;Pourtois et al, 2010; see also Dignath et al, 2019); this evaluation is rapid and automatic (Aarts et al, 2012). Using a priming methodology, it has been shown that after response errors, young adults categorize negative words faster and better than positive words, suggesting a link between these events and negative valence (see also Aarts et al, 2013, andDe Saedeleer &Pourtois, 2016, for replications). Interestingly, the reverse effect (i.e., assigning a positive value to correct responses) was much weaker in these earlier studies, suggesting an asymmetry in the affective processing of self-generated actions in adult participants.…”

Central to learning and decision making stands the remarkable ability to rapidly evaluate the outcome of our actions as good or bad, and to adapt our behavior accordingly. In adults, response errors provide a unique window into performance monitoring (PM), which is closely related to self-regulation (Inzlicht et al., 2015) as well as value-based decision making . Given the limited research on PM in children, the main goal of our study was to shed some light on this process.

“…Importantly, we can rule out the possibility that this effect results from a dampened reaction to response errors in happy relative to neutral participants in general. First, the post-error slowing, which is thought to reflect an unspecific attention orienting to (deviant) response errors (Notebaert et al, 2009), and is increased by (subjective) arousal (De Saedeleer & Pourtois, 2016), was preserved in the happy mood group. Second, the ANS reaction to errors, as captured by the SCR, was preserved in happy participants.…”

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.

“…Participants are instructed to categorize the valence of the target as quickly and accurately as possible. Several studies found faster responses for negative targets following an incongruent as compared to a congruent prime and faster response for positive targets following an congruent as compared to an incongruent prime (grasp compatibility effect: Brouillet, Ferrier, Grosselin, & Brouillet, 2011 & Pourtois, 2012& Pourtois, , 2013De Saedeleer & Pourtois, 2016). Further support for a priming of negative affect by conflict comes from an EEG study that observed an increased late positive potential for negative pictures following flanker conflict, suggesting enhanced processing of negative pictures after conflict (Ligeza & Wyczesany, 2017; but see Steinhauser, Flaisch, Meinzer, & Schupp, 2016).…”

Conflict monitoring and the affective-signaling hypothesis—An integrative review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Conflict-monitoring theory proposes that conflict between incompatible responses is registered by a dedicated monitoring system, and that this conflict signal triggers changes of attentional filters and adapts control processes according to the current task demands. Extending the conflict-monitoring theory, it has been suggested that conflict elicits a negative affective reaction, and that it is this affective signal that is monitored and then triggers control adaptation. This review article summarizes research on a potential signaling function of affect for cognitive control. First, we provide an overview of the conflict-monitoring theory, discuss neurophysiological and behavioral markers of monitoring and control adaptation, and introduce the affective-signaling hypothesis. In a second part, we review relevant studies that address the questions of (i) whether conflict elicits negative affect, (ii) whether negative affect is monitored, and (iii) whether affect modulates control. In sum, the reviewed literature supports the claim that conflict and errors trigger negative affect and provides some support for the claim that affect modulates control. However, studies on the monitoring of negative affect and the influence of phasic affect on control are ambiguous. On the basis of these findings, in a third part, we critically reassess the affective-signaling hypothesis, discuss relevant challenges to this account, and suggest future research strategies.

Evaluative priming reveals dissociable effects of cognitive versus physiological anxiety on action monitoring.

Abstract: Effects of worry on action monitoring were trait but not state dependent, and only evidenced when actions were directly used a primes. These results suggest a double dissociation between worry and arousal during performance monitoring.
