Cognitive dissonance theory suggests that our preferences are modulated by the mere act of choosing. A choice between two similarly valued alternatives creates psychological tension (cognitive dissonance) is reduced a postdecisional reevaluation alternatives. We measured EEG human subjects during rest and free-choice paradigm. Our study demonstrates choices associated with stronger cognitive trigger larger negative frontocentral evoked response similar to error-related negativity, which has...
Abstract Humans can adapt their behavior by learning from the consequences of own actions or observing others. Gradual active action–outcome contingencies is accompanied a shift feedback- to response-based performance monitoring. This reflected complementary learning-related changes two ACC-driven ERP components, feedback-related negativity (FRN) and error-related (ERN), which have both been suggested signal events “worse than expected,” that is, negative prediction error. Although recent...
Cognitive dissonance theory suggests that our preferences are modulated by the mere act of choosing. According to cognitive theory, a choice between two similarly valued alternatives creates psychological tension (cognitive dissonance) is reduced post-decisional re-evaluation – spreading-of-alternatives effect chosen item being later evaluated more positively and rejected negatively. Previous neuroimaging studies indicated central role medial prefrontal cortex in dissonance. In this work, we...
Difficult choices between two equally attractive options result in a cognitive discrepancy dissonant cognitions such as preferences and actions often followed by sense of psychological discomfort known dissonance. It can lead to changes the desirability options: chosen option becomes more desirable, whereas rejected is devalued. Despite ample experimental evidence show this effect, neural mechanisms timing choice-induced preference are not fully understood.
