“…Many aspects of behavior are developed via the sum of learned experiences, malleable to ongoing feedback from the environment. As a part of the environmental contribution to behavior, rewards and punishments are fundamental components that guide future action, increasing the probability of repeated behavior as a result of reward and decreasing the probability with punishment (Diserens & Vaughn, ). However, research has shown reward and punishment should not be regarded as binary outcomes, but instead as weighted constructs based on violations of expectations (Berridge, Robinson, & Aldridge, ).…”

Teasing apart the anticipatory and consummatory processing of monetary incentives: An event‐related potential study of reward dynamics

The monetary incentive delay (MID) task has been widely used in fMRI studies to investigate the neural networks involved in anticipatory and consummatory reward processing. Previous efforts to adapt the MID task for use with ERPs, however, have had limited success. Here, we sought to further decompose reward dynamics using a comprehensive set of anticipatory (cue-N2, cue-P3, contingent negative variation [CNV]) and consummatory ERPs (feedback negativity [FN], feedback P3 [fb-P3]). ERP data was recorded during adapted versions of the MID task across two experiments. Unlike previous studies, monetary incentive cues modulated the cue-N2, cue-P3, and CNV; however, cue-related ERPs and the CNV were uncorrelated with one another, indicating distinct anticipatory subprocesses. With regard to consummatory processing, FN amplitude primarily tracked outcome valence (reward vs. nonreward), whereas fb-P3 amplitude primarily tracked outcome salience (uncertain vs. certain). Independent modulation of the cue-P3 and fb-P3 was observed, indicating that these two P3 responses may uniquely capture the allocation of attention during anticipatory and consummatory reward processing, respectively. Overall, across two samples, consistent evidence of both anticipatory and consummatory ERP activity was observed on an adapted version of the MID paradigm, demonstrating for the first time how these ERP components may be integrated with one another to more fully characterize the time course of reward processing. This ERP-MID paradigm is well suited to parsing reward dynamics, and can be applied to both healthy and clinical populations.

“…Given the potential negative effects of feedback, it might appear that feedback in cognitive training systems should be avoided. However, feedback also serves a motivational role by offering psychological encouragement during the skill acquisition period (Arps, 1920; Crawley, 1926; Diserens & Vaughn, 1931; Elwell & Orindley, 1938; Locke, 1966; Locke & Bryan, 1969; Smode, 1958). Grouzet, Vallerand, Thill, and Provencher (2004), using a hidden-figure puzzle experimental task, showed that positive feedback predicted enhanced perceptions of competence and autonomy.…”

Computerized training systems offer a promising new direction in the training of executive functions, in part because they can easily be designed to offer feedback to learners. Yet, feedback is a double-edged sword, serving a positive motivational role while at the same time carrying the risk that learners may become dependent on the feedback they receive. The current research suggests that computerized training systems may take advantage of the motivational effects of feedback without the unwanted risk by making feedback available while not requiring trainees to access it. Specifically, we hypothesized that the mere availability of feedback would improve performance even if trainees never or almost never made use of it. We tested this hypothesis using a simple puzzle completion task, putting the focus on executive functions by instructing participants to complete each puzzle with a minimal number of rotations and moves. Two training sessions in which the availability of feedback was manipulated were followed by a transfer test and a visual perception test. The results show that the availability of feedback improved performance, in terms of the smaller number of excess rotations and moves performed during both the training sessions and the transfer task.
