However, impulsivity is a multidimensional construct with attentional, motor and non-planning components, among others. Not all aspects of impulsivity may relate to error monitoring. In this event-related potential (ERP) study we used an individual difference approach with a large sample of healthy young adults (<em>n</em> = 261) and the flanker task to explore what specific facets of impulsivity were predictive of error monitoring as indexed by the error-related negativity (ERN).</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) was used to measure impulsivity and its subcomponents.

When the three scale scores were regressed on ERN amplitudes, only cognitive instability (“racing thoughts”) was predictive, associating greater cognitive instability with reduced ERN amplitudes.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Increases in the cognitive instability aspect of impulsivity predicts reduced ERN amplitudes, which may be related to individual differences in the motivational salience of errors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54945,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychophysiology","volume":"214 ","pages":"Article 113206"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144581243","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}

The sample included 31 self-identifying African American undergraduate students (Women = 83.87 %), with a mean age of approximately 19.71 (SD = 1.49) years. After giving consent, the participants were administered a semi-structured interview that included the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) to determine cannabis use disorder (CUD) status. If a participant met the criteria for CUD, they were instructed to wear a Garmin smartwatch for three consecutive days. The Garmin smartwatch collected interbeat intervals via photoplethysmographic measurement. Participants were also instructed to complete a survey each time they smoked cannabis, a survey that asked for the start and stop times for each cannabis smoking session. Employing mixed ANOVA and Multilevel models, results suggest a significant difference in HRV levels before and after self-reported cannabis smoking. Specifically, both time and frequency domain HRV metrics are significantly lower than levels prior to smoking cannabis. Further, we see a significant increase in average heart rate from before to after cannabis smoking. The current findings identify cannabis' acute autonomic cardiac influence among individuals living with CUD. Future research should elucidate the impact of repeated cannabis exposure and their long term autonomic implications, including more cannabis ingestion modalities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54945,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychophysiology","volume":"214 ","pages":"Article 113211"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144581282","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}

While previous studies using event-related potentials (ERPs) have yielded conflicting findings regarding threat sensitivity in anxiety, Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation (FPVS) offers a high signal-to-noise, implicit alternative for assessing emotion processing. This study utilized FPVS to investigate neural responses to facial expressions in individuals with elevated anxiety-related characteristics (e.g., prior diagnosis or elevated symptom scores) and those without. EEG responses were recorded while participants viewed sequences of neutral faces interspersed with emotional oddball expressions (angry, fearful, happy, and sad). Results revealed robust neural discrimination responses to all facial expressions. Participants with anxiety-related characteristics showed significantly greater summed baseline-corrected amplitudes (BCA) at occipital electrodes in response to angry and sad oddball faces compared to the low-anxiety group. This was accompanied by reduced top-down interactions. Although, dimensional anxiety scores were generally low, suggesting results may reflect residual or trait-level differences rather than acute symptomatology, these findings provide preliminary evidence that FPVS may be sensitive to enduring differences in emotion processing associated with anxiety vulnerability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54945,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychophysiology","volume":"214 ","pages":"Article 113212"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144571789","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}

Twenty-seven nonimpaired (13 men, 20–31 years) and 25 dyslexic (11 men, 20–32 years) readers were presented with sentences that included four possible endings: a congruent ending in which the last word was semantically related to the sentence, an incongruent ending with no semantic relationship, a homophone which was based on a congruent word, and an orthographically similar word to a congruent word. The participants were asked to decide if the sentence-final word was semantically related to the sentence. Response accuracy, reaction times, and both amplitude and peak latency of the N400 were investigated. The N400 component has been reported as a brain measure that reflects the integration of phonological and orthographic processes into meaning during word reading. The behavioral results revealed that the dyslexic readers were less accurate overall compared to the nonimpaired readers. In addition, the dyslexic readers had longer reaction times for the phonological, orthographic, and incongruent conditions compared to the nonimpaired readers. The N400 results showed that the dyslexic readers produced larger amplitude compared to the nonimpaired readers for the congruent (<em>p</em> = 0.021) and orthographic (<em>p</em> = 0.041) conditions. Moreover, the dyslexic readers had longer latency than the nonimpaired readers for the congruent (<em>p</em> = 0.012), orthographic (<em>p</em> = 0.015), and incongruent (<em>p</em> = 0.011) conditions.
