“…Such experimental work on motivational regulations continues today, with experimental work shedding light on the differential role of punishments and logical consequences (e.g., Robichaud & Mageau, 2020), the fostering of identified regulation through meaningful rationales (e.g., Jang, 2008), and the use of guilt induction to prompt introjected regulation (Chen et al, 2016). Motive states are also being identified in brain studies as these states engage different neural networks (e.g., Fang et al, 2020; Lee & Reeve, 2017, 2020; Miura et al, 2017; Ryan & Di Domenico, 2016).…”

Self-determination theory (SDT) is a still rapidly expanding framework of basic and applied research, underpinned by a global network of scholars and practitioners. Herein, we focus on one feature of SDT that helps explain its continued growth-the fact that it is a truly human science that takes into consideration our attributes as persons, including our capacities for awareness and self-regulation, as well as vulnerabilities to defensiveness and control. Within SDT, these human capacities are studied using diverse methods and across all subdisciplines of psychology. In this review, we focus particularly on people's capacity for autonomy as it applies to their individual functioning, interpersonal relationships, and societal interactions. If there is a core legacy to SDT, it is one of representing a generative and philosophically coherent framework based on a convergent network of empirical evidence with relevance across domains and cultures and to our basic experiences and concerns as humans.

“…Most studies reported that high compared to low agency increased the neural responses for affective action outcomes. This has been found for the reward positivity/error negativity component (Yeung et al, 2005 ; Bellebaum et al, 2010 ; Li et al, 2011 ; Martin and Potts, 2011 ; Bismark et al, 2013 ; Legault and Inzlicht, 2013 ; Bellebaum and Colosio, 2014 ; Meng and Ma, 2015 ; Mühlberger et al, 2017 ; Mei et al, 2018 ; Yi et al, 2018 ; Hassall et al, 2019 ; Fang et al, 2020 ; Zheng et al, 2020 ), as well as for the P300 (Bellebaum et al, 2010 ; Mühlberger et al, 2017 ; Mei et al, 2018 ; Yi et al, 2018 ; Hassall et al, 2019 ; Fang et al, 2020 ), and midfrontal theta power (Zheng et al, 2020 ). Overall, these findings suggest that sense of agency increases the neural impact of affective feedback.…”

Sense of agency is the feeling of being in control of one's actions and their perceivable effects. Most previous research identified cognitive or sensory determinants of agency experience. However, it has been proposed that sense of agency is also bound to the processing of affective information. For example, during goal-directed actions or instrumental learning we often rely on positive feedback (e.g., rewards) or negative feedback (e.g., error messages) to determine our level of control over the current task. Nevertheless, we still lack a scientific model which adequately explains the relation between affective processing and sense of agency. In this article, we review current empirical findings on how affective information modulates agency experience, and, conversely, how sense of agency changes the processing of affective action outcomes. Furthermore, we discuss in how far agency-related changes in affective processing might influence the ability to enact cognitive control and action regulation during goal-directed behavior. A preliminary model is presented for describing the interplay between sense of agency, affective processing, and action regulation. We propose that affective processing could play a role in mediating the influence between subjective sense of agency and the objective ability to regulate one's behavior. Thus, determining the interrelation between affective processing and sense of agency will help us to understand the potential mechanistic basis of agency experience, as well as its functional significance for goal-directed behavior.

“…However, the sensitivity of P300 to outcome valence remains controversial and may be influenced by outcome probability (San Martín, 2012). In Fang et al (2020)'s research, the probability of success in a task was approximately 50%. However, in the current study, the number of incorrect trials was lower than the number of correct trials.…”

P300 as a neural indicator for setting levels of goal scores in educational gamification applications from the perspective of intrinsic motivation: An ERP study

The challenge level of goal achievement affects intrinsic motivation. Thus, the goal score learners are required to achieve is an important element in gamified educational applications to foster users' intrinsic motivation. However, determining optimal goal scores that enhance the intrinsic motivation of each learner is not easy because individual competence and preferences for the challenge level (e.g., preference for difficult-to-achieve challenges) vary. One approach is to determine the goal score using physiological measurements to estimate when an individual's intrinsic motivation is reinforced. Measurement of event-related potentials (ERPs) is considered useful for this purpose. ERPs time-locked to feedback onset, such as feedback-related negativity and P300, reflect intrinsic motivation. However, it remains unclear whether these ERPs can serve as indicators of optimal goal scores for gamified educational applications in terms of intrinsic motivation. The present study aimed to examine whether ERP measures vary with the challenge levels of the goal score determined by participants' competence (too-easy, moderate and too-hard levels) and/or with their preference for these levels when using a gamified mental arithmetic application. Thirty-three participants solved 64 addition problems in one session in this application and received auditory feedback immediately after each answer entry. Scores were then calculated based on their task performance. Before each session, participants were informed of the goal score and instructed to exceed it as much as possible. Sessions were repeated six times at easy, moderate, and hard levels of goal scores, with two sessions per level. Goal score preferences were quantified based on subjective ratings of the motivation to achieve each level of goal score using a 7-point Likert scale. The mean amplitudes of ERPs were obtained for each participant. Results showed that P300 was significantly related to subjective ratings but not to levels of goal scores, indicating that P300 could be an indicator of participant preference for goal score levels. This study suggests that measurement of P300 may serve as a neural indicator providing an optimal goal score for individual learners that maximizes their intrinsic motivation in gamified learning applications.
