“…The two primary MI features found to contribute to behavioral change are the change agent's (i.e., therapist) empathy and the verbal contents in the interaction with a client (Miller and Rose, 2009;Copeland et al, 2015). The neural processes associated with the change talks are inhibiting rewardrelated processes (Feldstein Ewing and Houck, 2015), arousing self-awareness and introspection (Feldstein Ewing et al, 2014). This study is the first in MI to focus on the neural processes associated with participants' exposure to MI change talk contents.…”

The counseling process involves attention, emotional perception, cognitive appraisal, and decision-making. This study aimed to investigate cognitive appraisal and the associated emotional processes when reading short therapists' statements of motivational interviewing (MI). Thirty participants with work injuries were classified into the pre-contemplation (PC, n = 15) or readiness stage of the change group (RD, n = 15). The participants viewed MI congruent (MI-C), MI incongruent (MI-INC), or control phrases during which their electroencephalograms were captured. The results indicated significant Group × Condition effects in the frontally oriented late positive complex (P600/LPC). The P600/LPC's amplitudes were more positive-going in the PC than in the RD group for the MI congruent statements. Within the PC group, the amplitudes of the N400 were significantly correlated (r = 0.607–0.649) with the participants' level of negative affect. Our findings suggest that the brief contents of MI statements alone can elicit late cognitive and emotional appraisal processes beyond semantic processing.
