Furthermore, these investigations primarily focused on reactive inhibition while neglecting intentional inhibition. Therefore, this study aimed to reassess the correlation between reactive inhibition and rs-EEG metrics while also exploring the association between intentional inhibition and rs-EEG. Power spectrum analysis and microstate analysis were employed to extract rs-EEG, whereas the Free Two-Choice Oddball task was utilized for assessing both reactive and intentional inhibition among 95 participants. The results revealed no significant correlations between reactive inhibition and rs-EEG metrics. However, intentional inhibition exhibited a negative correlation with relative power in delta and beta bands but a positive correlation with relative power in alpha band. Moreover, intentional inhibition demonstrated a negative correlation with occurrence rate and contribution of microstate A but a positive correlation with duration of microstate D. Additionally, it displayed a negative relationship with the transition probability between microstate A and C but a positive relationship with the transition probability between microstate C and D. The regression analysis revealed that the occurrence rate of microstate A can negatively predict intentional inhibition. Overall, this study advances theoretical understanding as well as empirical research in this field by addressing gaps in rs-EEG evidence for intentional inhibition while providing potential neuropsychological indicators for its assessment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54945,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychophysiology","volume":"209 ","pages":"Article 112516"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143025541","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 study compares three protocols: the importance-themed enhanced CIT (<em>E</em>-CIT), a less cognitively demanding version of the E-CIT, the inducer CIT (I-CIT), and the classic three-stimulus protocol (3SP-CIT). The study investigates whether the I-CIT yields a superior P300-CIT effect due to reduced cognitive load and induced semantic context of importance. Reaction time analyses replicated the RT-CIT effect enhancement in the <em>E</em>-CIT compared to the classic 3SP-CIT. Elevated response times in the E-CIT compared to the 3SP-CIT and I-CIT suggest higher cognitive load in the E-CIT.

Here, we use time-frequency analyses of human electroencephalogram (EEG) data to explore the aftereffects of two such mechanisms: target amplification and distracter inhibition. Participants completed a set-shifting task in which interference during switch trials could either result from the persisting amplification of previous target colors or the persisting inhibition of previous distracter colors. In a first set of analyses, we focused on frontal midline theta (FMT) as a time-continuous marker of overall interference. Compared to a control condition, we found transient peaks of FMT in both experimental conditions that matched the effects of persisting target amplification and distracter inhibition predicted by a computational model of the task. In a second set of analyses we used steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEPs) as a direct measure of the attentional resources allocated to target and distracter colors. However, SSVEP amplitudes did not differ reliably between stimulation frequencies during switch trials, preventing us from drawing further conclusions on the origins of the interference processes reflected in FMT dynamics. Implications for theories of selective attention and potential limitations of frequency tagging in the context of mental set-shifting research are discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54945,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychophysiology","volume":"207 ","pages":"Article 112488"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142830865","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}

The aim of the present study is to further investigate the impaired processing of social reward anticipation and reward consumption in individuals with IGD, and explore the relationship between these two components. Using a social incentive delay task with game-related and real-life versions, combined with event-related potential (ERP) technology, we examined 25 individuals with IGD and 25 matched healthy game players. The results showed that, at the behavioral level, individuals with IGD showed significantly slower reaction times to real-life target stimuli compared with game-related target stimuli, which is not observed in healthy controls. At the neural level, the Cue-P3 elicited by real-life incentive cues in individuals with IGD was significantly smaller than that elicited by game-related incentive cues. However, these effects were no longer significant after adding depression and anxiety scores as covariates. There was no significant difference in reward positivity (RewP) elicited between the two types of reward consumption. Furthermore, individuals with IGD showed a positive correlation between Cue-P3 elicited by game-related social incentive cue and RewP elicited by game-related social reward. However, this effect was not observed in the healthy controls. In conclusion, the present study suggests that the blunted allocation of motivated neural attention resources to real-life social incentive cues in individuals with IGD may be the key mechanism underlying their impaired social reward processing. This impairment may be influenced by the higher levels of depression and anxiety symptoms commonly observed in individuals with IGD.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54945,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychophysiology","volume":"207 ","pages":"Article 112479"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142787911","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}

A total of 324 community recruited participants (age range 15–93 years) completed standard self-report scales of CT, anxiety and depression, and also underwent an eyes-closed resting state EEG recording session. Based on several functional neuroimaging studies, which have shown that connectivity in the salience network with major nodes in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and insula is modulated by CT, we derived salience network connectivity measures from resting state EEG source imaging. Also given that theta band (3–7 Hz) neural oscillations have been shown to have an ACC source, we specifically focused on theta band salience network connectivity. The results showed significant positive correlation between CT and both anxiety and depression. We also found that theta band salience network connectivity, but not network activity, had a significant inverse relationship with CT and specifically mediated the relationship between CT and anxiety, but not depression. Interrogating the subcomponents of CT, theta connectivity in the salience network mediated the relationship between anxiety and both emotional abuse and physical neglect.
