Attentional models of psychopathy hold that psychopathic individuals fail to process information that conflicts with goal-directed behavior. However, they display normal interference on color-word Stroop tasks. To determine whether psychopathic individuals' attention deficits are specific to conditions associated with the anterior cingulate (ACC) conflict monitoring system, we administered a Stroop task with a mostly-congruent condition associated with ACC activation, and a mostly-incongruent condition that is not, to 128 criminal offenders assessed for psychopathy using Hare's (2003) PCL-R. Despite replicating previous condition Effects associated with differential ACC activation (Carter et al., 2000), psychopathic offenders and controls performed very similarly in both conditions. Results do not support an association between ACC-related deficits in conflict monitoring and the attention deficits of psychopathic offenders.
精神病态的注意力模型认为,患有精神病态的个体无法处理与目标导向行为相冲突的信息。然而,他们在颜色-文字斯特鲁普任务中表现出正常的干扰。为了确定患有精神病态的个体的注意力缺陷是否特定于与前扣带回(ACC)冲突监测系统相关的情况,我们对128名使用黑尔(2003年)的PCL-R量表评估为患有精神病态的刑事罪犯进行了一项斯特鲁普任务,该任务包括一个与ACC激活相关的大部分一致的条件,以及一个与之无关的大部分不一致的条件。尽管重复了先前与ACC激活差异相关的条件效应(卡特等人,2000年),但患有精神病态的罪犯和对照组在两种条件下的表现非常相似。结果不支持冲突监测中与ACC相关的缺陷与患有精神病态的罪犯的注意力缺陷之间存在关联。
