Error Monitoring Under Negative Affect: A Window into Maladaptive Self-Regulation Processes

摘要: The ability to detect response errors and regulate behavior accordingly is an important component of self-regulation. Early error detection relies on the integrity specific frontostriatal loops that register any mismatch between actual expected action, in turn foster enhanced cognitive control. However, this process not immune affective influences. More specifically, negative affect seems sensitize responsiveness early error-detection brain machinery. In chapter, we review recent neurophysiological (electroencephalography (EEG)) behavioral results shedding light dynamic interplay monitoring affect. These findings suggest dissociable maladaptive self-regulation processes may arise during depending internalizing disorder. While high anxious individuals typically show overactive processes, depressed patients instead a blunted reactivity at later stage. This dissociation could be accounted for by impaired generation action’s predictive value versus excessive self-referential processing case depression. Altogether these effects error-monitoring are multiple can reflect different alterations core self-regulatory engaged action monitoring.
