Impulsiveness, aggression, reading, and the P300 of the event-related potential

The procrastinators want it now: Behavioral and event-related potential evidence of the procrastination of intertemporal choices

“…Previous studies have also shown an impulsivity-related effect on the P300 amplitude (Harmon-Jones, Barratt, & Wigg, 1997;Martin & Potts, 2004). Therefore, we expected the P300 to show a reward magnitude effect in the present study, which might be sensitive to procrastination.…”

Differential relationships between sub‐traits of BIS-11 impulsivity and executive processes: An ERP study

“…Only this sub-trait has been significantly associated with a greater number of daily cigarettes smoked among alcoholic subjects (Dom et al, 2006). Further, both of these above sub-traits have been associated with physical aggression (Harmon-Jones et al, 1997). Characterized by acting without thinking, the third sub-trait, Motor Impulsiveness (MI), appears to be more strongly related to binge drinking than the other facets (Carlson et al, 2010).…”

“…Further, most studies examining BIS-11 subscales have used behavior-based measures of executive functions (see Harmon-Jones et al, 1997;Goya-Maldonado et al, 2010 for exceptions). Some individuals with high trait impulsivity may compensate for their cognitive limitations by engaging other resources with little observable difference in behavior.…”

Emotional Significance of the Stimulus and Features of the Personality as Factors Reflected in the Pattern of Evoked EEG Potentials

“…The higher the impulsivity as the personality feature of criminals, the lower the values of the P3 amplitude in these aggressive subjects [197]; at the same time, no significant differences were found between the latencies of this EP component [198]. The use of the odd-ball paradigm allowed researchers to find a positive correlation between the Р3 amplitude in parietal leads with the motor impulsivity [199]. In situations where the Р3 component was elicited by presentation of a feedback signal informing the tested subject about the successfulness/failure of the performance of the experimental task, the difference between the amplitudes of the Р3 in the cases of presentation of positive and negative signals positively correlated with the level of psychoticism of the individual [200].…”
