Participants were asked to verify complex multiplication problems that were either true (e.g., 3 × 23 = 69) or false (e.g., 5 × 98 = 485). Half the problems were five problems (e.g., 5 × 94 = 470) and half were non-five problems (e.g., 8 × 63 = 504). False five problems violated arithmetic rules (i.e., the five rule, e.g., 5 × 17 = 87, the parity-rule, e.g., 86 × 5 = 435, both the five- and parity-rules, e.g., 5 × 42 = 411) or no arithmetic rules (e.g., 13 × 5 = 45). Problems were displayed superimposed on emotionally neutral or negative pictures. Behavioral results showed that negative emotions (a) did not affect participants’ performance on true five and non-five problems, (b) influenced arithmetic performance on false five problems, and (c) impaired performance on problems that violated both the five- and parity-rules but improved performance on false five problems violating no arithmetic rules. Electrophysiological data revealed that negative emotions led to (a) earlier P1 peak when participants verified true, non-five problems, (b) lower P300 and P600 amplitudes in central brain regions when participants verified false five problems that violated no-rule, (c) earlier N2 peak latencies in central brain regions and larger LPC amplitudes in right parietal regions while participants verified parity-rule violation problems, and (d) earlier N2 peak latencies in central brain regions and later N2 peak latencies in the right prefrontal brain regions while participants verified false, five problems violating both the five- and parity-rules. These findings demonstrate that negative emotions significantly alter key stages of arithmetic problem-solving by modulating neural activity related to encoding, detection of rule violations, and strategic execution, as evidenced by changes in the amplitude and latency of ERP components such as P1, N2, P300, P600, and LPC.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19279,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychologia","volume":"211 ","pages":"Article 109132"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143692827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metacognition allows for the adjustment, monitoring, and evaluation of one's own decisions and strategies. While these aspects of cognition are central to human behavioural performance, their respective causal neural underpinnings are not well understood. Here, we used transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to investigate the causal roles of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), superior medial frontal cortex (SMFC), and posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in the SAT and metacognition. Subjects received active or sham tDCS before completing a perceptual task with explicit SAT cues and reported confidence in their decisions. We fit the linear ballistic accumulator model to behavioural data to extract latent decision variables and used confidence judgments to compute two common indices of metacognition: <em>meta-d’</em> and <em>m-ratio</em>. Stimulation influenced performance on the perceptual task but there was no meaningful evidence for an effect on metacognition. Specifically, PFC stimulation reduced subjects' response caution, especially when accuracy was emphasised; SMFC stimulation decreased response caution and increased the discriminability between choices; and PPC stimulation increased both response caution and discriminability. These results show that the impact of tDCS on the SAT critically depends on the frontoparietal region stimulated. In addition, there was little to no evidence of any effect of tDCS on metacognition, hinting at potential differences in the neural circuitry supporting aspects of <em>object</em>-level computation and <em>meta</em>-level processing. In sum, our findings provide further evidence that tDCS can alter decision making and strategic processes in the human brain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19279,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychologia","volume":"211 ","pages":"Article 109130"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143670444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A way to understand semantic integrity in AD patients is through a detailed analysis of verbal fluency (VF) performance. In the present study, we used an innovative methodology that combines measures of between-words latencies together with automatized identification of semantic clusters via Latent Dirichlet Analysis (LDA) to acquire a more precise understanding of the dynamics and semantic organization of VF in patients at early stages of AD. Importantly, and diverging from customary procedures, we included VF errors (i.e., repetitions and intrusions) across analyses. For comparison, a group of healthy older adults and young individuals were also examined. Standard parameters including total correct answers, number of clusters, mean cluster size (MCS), cluster duration, and within and out-of-cluster intervals were calculated. These parameters were expressed as mean values in 1-min VF trials and by calculating mean values in four 15-s time windows. Results for the 1-min trial demonstrated significantly larger mean cluster sizes (MCS) and fewer generated answers in AD patients compared to the healthy groups. No additional group differences were found neither on time intervals (both within and out-of-clusters), nor on the 15-s time windows analyses. These data suggest that the clustering ability of mild AD patients might be affected by executive impairments promoting larger MCS. At the same time, we found similar semantic processes and timings in patients and healthy participants. The main difference resides in the structure of the patients' clusters, which encompassed erroneous answers. We advance the idea that production of errors might not only be a consequence of executive dysfunction or working memory deterioration, but also a sign that associative semantic mechanisms are still active early in the disease, despite an evident loss of information.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19279,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychologia","volume":"211 ","pages":"Article 109126"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143648184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At larger deviations, oddball responses were highly reliable between sessions, measured using intraclass correlations.
