This study examined neural features of emotional responses to errors. We specifically examined whether directed emotion regulation of negative emotion associated with error modulates action-monitoring functions of anterior cingulate cortex, including conflict monitoring, error processing, and error prevention. Seventeen healthy adults performed a continuous performance task during assessment by fMRI. In each block, participants were asked either to increase or decrease their negative emotional responses or to react naturally after error commission. Emotion regulation instructions were associated with modulation of rostral and dorsal anterior activity and of their effective connectivity following errors and conflict. Cingulate activity and connectivity predicted subsequent errors. These data may suggest that responses to errors are affected by emotion and that aspects of emotion and cognition are inextricably linked, even during a nominally cognitive task.
本研究探讨了对错误的情绪反应的神经特征。我们特别研究了定向情绪调节与错误相关的负性情绪是否调节了前扣带皮层的行为监测功能，包括冲突监测、错误处理和错误预防。17 名健康成年人在 fMRI 评估期间执行连续作业任务。在每个块中，要求参与者增加或减少他们的负面情绪反应，或者在犯错后自然反应。情绪调节指令与错误和冲突后额部和背部前活动及其有效连接的调节有关。扣带活动和连接性预测随后的错误。这些数据可能表明，对错误的反应受到情绪的影响，即使在名义上的认知任务中，情绪和认知的各个方面也是不可分割地联系在一起的。
