“…This effect resembled the well-known CNV and had a fronto-central distribution, what is in accordance with a potential source in the pMFC. The CNV has been interpreted to reflect an anticipatory preparation of neural mechanisms which are later involved in task processing (Brunia et al, 2012). The CNV-like effect in our study may therefore reflect anticipatory control processes of the pMFC, monitoring functions of which are later engaged during the stages of task performance and feedback reception.…”

“…Finally, visual inspection of the ERP grand-average waves pointed to a negative-going slow amplitude shift following the face of the strict compared to the lenient evaluator at midfrontal sites. This effect resembled the well-known contingent negative variation (CNV; Walter, Cooper, Aldridge, McCallum, & Winter, 1964), which probably reflects attentional mechanisms of performance preparation (Brunia, van Boxtel, & Böcker, 2012). As the CNV has recently received growing attention with regard to its role in outcome anticipation and task-difficulty expectations (e.g., Capa, Bouquet, Dreher, & Dufour, 2013;Schevernels, Krebs, Santens, Woldorff, & Boehler, 2014;Silvetti, Nuñez Castellar, Roger, & Verguts, 2014;van den Berg, Krebs, Lorist, & Woldorff, 2014), we also conducted an exploratory analysis of this component.…”

In many daily situations, the consequences of our actions are predicted by cues that are often social in nature. For instance, seeing the face of an evaluator (e.g., a supervisor at work) may activate certain evaluative expectancies, depending on the history of prior encounters with that particular person. We investigated how such face-induced expectancies influence neurocognitive functions of performance monitoring. We recorded an electroencephalogram while participants completed a time-estimation task, during which they received performance feedback from a strict and a lenient evaluator. During each trial, participants first saw the evaluator's face before performing the task and, finally, receiving feedback. Therefore, faces could be used as predictive cues for the upcoming evaluation. We analyzed electrocortical signatures of performance monitoring at the stages of cue processing, task performance, and feedback reception. Our results indicate that, at the cue stage, seeing the strict evaluator's face results in an anticipatory preparation of fronto-medial monitoring mechanisms, as reflected by a sustained negative-going amplitude shift (i.e., the contingent negative variation). At the performance stage, face-induced expectancies of a strict evaluation rule led to increases of early performance monitoring signals (i.e., frontal-midline theta power). At the final stage of feedback reception, violations of outcome expectancies differentially affected the feedback-related negativity and frontalmidline theta power, pointing to a functional dissociation between these signatures. Altogether, our results indicate that evaluative expectancies induced by face-cues lead to adjustments of internal performance monitoring mechanisms at various stages of task processing.

“…The CNV, and more specifically the late CNV, has been proposed to indicate various aspects of increased anticipatory cognitive load, as for instance increased working memory activity, increased motivation, and stronger outcome monitoring (e.g., Brunia & van Boxtel, 2001;Brunia et al, 2012;Honda et al, 1996;McCallum & Curry, 1993;Wascher et al, 1996). These interpretations of the CNV fit well with the cognitive processes proposed to underlie successful deception.…”

The cognitive view on deception proposes that lying comes with a cognitive cost. This view is supported by the finding that lying typically takes longer than truth telling. Event-related potentials (ERPs) provide a means to unravel the cognitive processes underlying this cost.Using a mock-crime design, the current study (n = 20) investigated the effects of deception on the Contingent Negative Variation (CNV), the Lateralized Readiness Potential (LRP), the Correct Response Negativity (CRN), and the stimulus-locked N200 and P300 components. In line with previous research, lying resulted in more errors, longer reaction times (RTs) and longer RT standard deviations compared to truthful responses. A marginally significant effect suggested a stronger CNV for the anticipation of lying compared to the anticipation of truth telling. There were no significant deception effects on the stimulus-and the response-locked LRPs. Unexpectedly, we found a significantly larger CRN for truth telling compared to lying.Additional analyses revealed an enhanced N200 and a decreased P300 for lying compared to truth telling. Our results support the cognitive load hypothesis for lying, yet are mixed regarding the response conflict hypothesis. Results are discussed with regard to the specific characteristics of our design and their theoretical and applied implications.

“…Many studies provide insights into temporal aspects in language processing by ERP analysis (e.g., Swaab et al, 2012) or spectralanalytic techniques (e.g., Schack et al, 2003) but only a few are using a RP in this context (e.g. Brunia et al, 2012;McArdle et al, 2009). However, even if it is possible to investigate RPs in an auditory experimental setting it is still unclear if it could be evaluated in a natural language production task including articulator movement.…”

h i g h l i g h t s• Detection of readiness potential onset represents a preconscious measure for end-of-turn anticipation in a language dialogue.• Even if it is a language task it can be applied equally well to both verbal and finger movement responses.• In contrast to behavioural reaction time tasks the EEG-measurement produces more reliable data for the anticipation performance in end-of-turndetection.a r t i c l e i n f o New method: The purpose of this study was to examine if readiness potentials (RP) can be used to study the anticipation of turn-ends by using it in a motoric finger movement and articulatory movement task. The goal was to determine the preconscious onset of turn-end anticipation in early, preconscious turn-end anticipation processes by the simultaneous registration of EEG measures (RP) and behavioural measures (anticipation timing accuracy, ATA). For our behavioural measures, we used both button-press and verbal response ("yes"). In the experiment, 30 subjects were asked to listen to auditorily presented utterances and press a button or utter a brief verbal response when they expected the end of the turn. During the task, a 32-channel-EEG signal was recorded. Results: The results showed that the RPs during verbal-and button-press-responses developed similarly and had an almost identical time course: the RP signals started to develop 1170 vs. 1190 ms before the behavioural responses. Comparison with existing methods: Until now, turn-end anticipation is usually studied using behavioural methods, for instance by measuring the anticipation timing accuracy, which is a measurement that reflects conscious behavioural processes and is insensitive to preconscious anticipation processes. Conclusion: The similar time course of the recorded RP signals for both verbal-and button-press responses provide evidence for the validity of using RPs as an online marker for response preparation in turn-taking and spoken dialogue research.
