Affective and cognitive information conveyed by persuasive stimuli is evaluated and integrated by individuals according to their behavioral predispositions. However, the neurocognitive structure that supports persuasion based on either affective or cognitive content is poorly understood. Here, we examine the neural and behavioral processes supporting choices based on affective and cognitive persuasion by integrating 4 information processing features: intrinsic brain connectivity, stimulus-evoked brain activity, intrinsic affective-cognitive orientation, and explicit target evaluations. We found that the intrinsic cross-network connections of a multimodal fronto-parietal network are associated with individual affective-cognitive orientation. Moreover, using a cross-validated classifier, we found that individuals' intrinsic brain-behavioral dimensions, such as affective-cognitive orientation and intrinsic brain connectivity, can predict individual choices between affective and cognitive targets. Our findings show that affective- and cognitive-based choices rely on multiple sources, including behavioral orientation, stimulus evaluation, and intrinsic functional brain architecture.
个体根据自身的行为倾向来评估和整合有说服力的刺激所传达的情感和认知信息。然而，支持基于情感或认知内容的说服的神经认知结构理解得还很差。在这里，我们通过整合 4 种信息处理特征：内在大脑连接、刺激引发的大脑活动、内在情感-认知取向和明确的目标评估，来研究支持基于情感和认知的说服的神经和行为过程。我们发现，多模态额顶网络的内在跨网络连接与个体的情感-认知取向有关。此外，我们还使用交叉验证分类器发现，个体内在的大脑-行为维度，如情感-认知取向和内在大脑连接性，可以预测个体在情感和认知目标之间的选择。我们的研究结果表明，基于情感和认知的选择依赖于多种来源，包括行为倾向、刺激评估和内在功能大脑结构。
