Abstract

Background

Immediate reward preference in repetitive negative thinking (RNT) has a high clinical correlation with a variety of maladaptive behaviors, whereas episodic future thinking (EFT) may be conducive to dealing with non-adaptive thinking and decision-making.

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of EFT training combined with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) stimulation over the ventromedial PFC (vmPFC) in inhibiting impulsive choice of RNT individuals.

Method

Study 1 explored the effects of EFT on immediate reward preference of participants with high and low RNT (N = 48). Study 2 conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the treatment effect of the EFT-neural training on impulsive choice of high RNT individuals (N = 103).

Results

In study 1, individuals with high RNT were more likely to choose smaller and sooner (SS) rewards, however, there were no significant differences between the high-RNT group and the low-RNT group under the positive EFT condition. In study 2, a significant decrease was shown in the proportion of choosing SS rewards under the 8-week EFT-neural training, and the effect was maintained at 1 month follow-up.

Conclusion

RNT is a vulnerability factor for short-sighted behaviors, and EFT-neural training could be suitable for reducing RNT and improving immediate reward preference.

跳跃之前先想象情节性未来思维与经颅直流电刺激训练相结合,治疗重复性消极思维中的冲动性选择
背景重复性消极思维(RNT)中的即时奖赏偏好与各种适应不良行为具有高度的临床相关性,而外显未来思维(EFT)可能有利于处理非适应性思维和决策。本研究旨在评估外显未来思维训练与经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)相结合对抑制 RNT 患者冲动性选择的疗效。方法研究 1 探讨了 EFT 对高 RNT 和低 RNT 参与者(48 人)即时奖励偏好的影响。结果在研究1中,高RNT个体更倾向于选择较小和较快的奖励(SS),但在积极的EFT条件下,高RNT组和低RNT组之间没有显著差异。在研究 2 中,在为期 8 周的 EFT 神经训练中,选择 SS 奖励的比例出现了明显下降,并且这种效果在 1 个月的随访中保持不变。
