“…In line with previous work (e.g., Krigolson et al, 2013, 2014), ERP components were measured based on visual inspection of grand-average waveforms ( Figures 3, 4, 7, 8 ) and associated scalp topographies ( Figures 5, 9 ). Visual inspection revealed that the peak difference between hits and misses (i.e., the ERN) occurred at fronto-central electrode site FCz.…”

Prism adaptation (PA) is both a perceptual-motor learning task as well as a promising rehabilitation tool for visuo-spatial neglect (VSN)—a spatial attention disorder often experienced after stroke resulting in slowed and/or inaccurate motor responses to contralesional targets. During PA, individuals are exposed to prism-induced shifts of the visual-field while performing a visuo-guided reaching task. After adaptation, with goggles removed, visuomotor responding is shifted to the opposite direction of that initially induced by the prisms. This visuomotor aftereffect has been used to study visuomotor learning and adaptation and has been applied clinically to reduce VSN severity by improving motor responding to stimuli in contralesional (usually left-sided) space. In order to optimize PA's use for VSN patients, it is important to elucidate the neural and cognitive processes that alter visuomotor function during PA. In the present study, healthy young adults underwent PA while event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded at the termination of each reach (screen-touch), then binned according to accuracy (hit vs. miss) and phase of exposure block (early, middle, late). Results show that two ERP components were evoked by screen-touch: an error-related negativity (ERN), and a P300. The ERN was consistently evoked on miss trials during adaptation, while the P300 amplitude was largest during the early phase of adaptation for both hit and miss trials. This study provides evidence of two neural signals sensitive to visual feedback during PA that may sub-serve changes in visuomotor responding. Prior ERP research suggests that the ERN reflects an error processing system in medial-frontal cortex, while the P300 is suggested to reflect a system for context updating and learning. Future research is needed to elucidate the role of these ERP components in improving visuomotor responses among individuals with VSN.

“…propose that perception of value is sensitive to perceived ownership -when gambling OWNERSHIP AND VALUE for another, differences in value are not processed by the medial-frontal system (Holroyd & Coles, 2002;Krigolson et al, 2013;Miltner et al, 1997) and are ignored, or are at least affected less relative to when one gambles for oneself.…”

“…This system is differentially sensitive to wins and losses, and is especially active when feedback is unexpected. To explore the interaction between medial-frontal feedback processing and ownership, Krigolson, Hassall, Balcom, and Turk (2013) had participants complete a series of gambles within which they either won "prizes" for themselves or for another while electroencephalographic (EEG) data were recorded. Interestingly, the authors found that while there was a difference in the human ERP when wins and losses for oneself were contrasted, this difference was not present when participants were gambling for another.…”

In the present experiment we examined whether or not perceived ownership would interact with the construct of value -the relative worth of an object. Participants completed a simple gambling game in which they either gambled for themselves or for another while electroencephalographic data were recorded. In a key manipulation, gambles for oneself or for another were for either small or large rewards. We tested the hypothesis that value affects the neural response to self-gamble outcomes, but not other-gamble outcomes. Our experimental data revealed that while participants learned the correct response option for both self and other gambles, the reward positivity evoked by wins was impacted by value only when gambling for oneself. Importantly, our findings provide additional evidence for a self-ownership bias in cognitive processing, and further demonstrate the insensitivity of the medial-frontal reward system to gambles for another.OWNERSHIP AND VALUE

“…As stated in the paragraph above, differences between decisions for others and decisions for oneself have been attributed to a decreased emotional engagement when the outcomes affect another person. This assumption of decreased emotional engagement is supported by neuroimaging studies showing a decreased activation of reward‐related brain areas in choices for others compared with choices for the self (Albrecht et al, ; Krigolson, Hassall, Balcom, & Turk, ). Additionally, differences between decisions made for oneself versus others seem to be larger the greater the affective involvement of the participant (Albrecht et al, ).…”

The gap between medical and monetary choices under risk persists in decisions for others

Decisions under risk in the medical domain have been found to systematically diverge from decisions in the monetary domain. When making choices between monetary options, people commonly rely on a decision strategy that trades off outcomes with their probabilities; when making choices between medical options, people tend to neglect probability information. In two experimental studies, we tested to what extent differences between medical and monetary decisions also emerge when the decision outcomes affect another person. Using a risky choice paradigm for medical and monetary decisions, we compared hypothetical decisions that participants made for themselves to decisions for a socially distant other (Study 1) and to recommendations as financial advisor or doctor (Study 2). In addition, we examined people's information search in a condition in which information about payoff distributions had to be learned from experiential sampling. Formal modeling and analyses of search behavior revealed a similarly pronounced gap between medical and monetary decisions in decisions for others as in decisions for oneself. Our results suggest that when making medical decisions, people try to avoid the worst outcome while neglecting its probability—even when the outcomes affect others rather than themselves.
