The development of the field of cognitive neuroscience has inspired a revival of interest in the brain mechanisms involved in the processing of rewards, punishments, and abstract performance feedback. One fruitful line of research in this area was initiated by the report of an electrophysiological brain potential in humans that was differentially sensitive to negative and positive performance feedback [J. Cogn. Neurosci. 9 (1997) 788]. Here we review current knowledge regarding the neural basis and functional significance of this feedback-evoked 'error-related negativity' (ERN). Our review is organized around a set of predictions derived from a recent theory, which holds that the ERN is associated with the arrival of a negative reward prediction error signal in anterior cingulate cortex.
认知神经科学领域的发展激发了人们对参与奖励、惩罚和抽象绩效反馈处理的大脑机制的兴趣再度兴起。该领域一项卓有成效的研究路线始于一份关于人类大脑电生理电位的报告,该电位对负面和正面绩效反馈具有不同的敏感性[《认知神经科学杂志》9 (1997) 788]。在此,我们回顾了关于这种反馈诱发的“错误相关负波”(ERN)的神经基础和功能意义的当前知识。我们的综述围绕着从最近一种理论推导出来的一组预测展开,该理论认为ERN与前扣带回皮质中负性奖励预测误差信号的到来有关。
