Summary: This study examines the behavioral and cognitive problems of risky decision-making among Chinese young people aged 15-25 years. The results suggest that impulsivity is a risk factor for risky decision-making among school adolescents, as individuals with high impulsivity tend to make riskier decisions and are more sensitive to unexpected outcomes.

Summary: Predicting the consequences of one's own decisions is crucial for organizing future behavior. However, flexible adaptation of decisions in response to frequently changing reward contingencies likely depends on the situation. In this study, the effects of an instructed threat context on choice behavior and its electrocortical correlates were examined. The findings revealed that behavioral performance was comparable during threat and safety conditions, suggesting that contextual threat did not significantly impact decision-making. However, electrocortical activity showed changes in feedback processing, indicating an attentional shift from expectation to outcome-based feedback processing. These findings have implications for understanding reward, threat, and reversal-learning mechanisms, as well as their implications for emotion regulation and anxiety disorders.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of valence (gain or loss) on outcome valuation and belief updating in risky financial choices. Using EEG combined with a financial decision task, the researchers found that subjects tend to report higher probability for stock to win and exhibit more risk-taking for potential gains compared to symmetric losses. The EEG data also showed a parallel pattern with the behavioral results, indicating an unbalanced processing of valence in shaping decisions under risk within financial learning.

Summary: This study investigates the neural correlates of reward anticipation and processing in youth with severe social phobia and comorbid depression (SP/MDD). It finds that both SP and MDD symptoms contribute to reduced reward anticipation and processing, with SP symptoms associated with enhanced neural activation and MDD symptoms associated with decreased neural activity.

Summary: This study explores the neural outcome processing of a socially competitive auction known as a Vickrey auction (VA) using EEG for the first time. The results show that the processing of VA bids is associated with feedback-related negativity (FRN) and P300 potentials, which differentiate between advantageous and less advantageous gains, as well as more and less expensive auction items.

Summary: The study found that motivation to gain rewards is higher than to avoid equivalent losses, especially in tasks promoting transient increases in attention. Pupil data suggests that losses are emotionally salient events, but do not invigorate behavior proportionally.

Summary: The study investigates the independent contributions of valence, surprise, and reward prediction errors (RPE) on the feedback-related neuronal signal, specifically the FRN and P3 components. With a large sample size of 992 healthy individuals, the results show that valence and surprise modulate the FRN, whereas both global and local surprise influence the P3. The behavioral adaptations after feedback and FRN have small associations. These findings support the theory of the FRN as a representation of a signed RPE and indicate that the P3 is involved in evaluating prediction errors in decision-making and learning tasks.

Summary: The study examined the neural correlates of age differences in decision-making using EEG recordings. The results indicate that aging affects affective processes, but integration and motivation processes remain preserved. However, further replication with larger samples is needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: Research has shown that social power influences one's fairness consideration, with powerful individuals more likely to reject unfair offers. In gain contexts, powerful individuals show greater sensitivity to proposed offers, while P300 responses indicate fairness considerations in both gain and loss contexts.

Summary: The study found that consumers have higher purchase intention in low social crowding environments compared to high crowding conditions. Neurophysiological responses indicated that successful feedback elicited higher affective evaluation in the low social crowding condition, while no significant difference was detected in the high social crowding condition. Additionally, more attentional resources were directed towards processing feedback outcomes in the low social crowding condition.

Summary: In our daily lives, we engage in various social comparisons, and interpersonal distance has an impact on the evaluation of social comparison outcomes. This study found that the level of intimacy in relationships affects how individuals process social comparison outcomes, and even in non-competitive situations, people tend to compare themselves to strangers.

Summary: This study investigated whether the late positive potential (LPP), a neural marker of attention and stimulus processing, could predict the response to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The results showed that higher LPP responses to negative stimuli were predictive of lower self-reported OCD symptoms after completion of CBT. The findings suggest that patients with increased emotional reactivity may benefit more from CBT, possibly through reduced avoidance of anxiety-provoking stimuli. The LPP shows promise as a prognostic marker for CBT response in OCD, but further research is needed.

Summary: This study found that physical distancing measures during the coronavirus pandemic can lead to increased psychological distress, especially in individuals with pre-existing mental disorders. Factors such as low social resources, empathic disconnection, and perceived social isolation were found to contribute to higher levels of distress in this population. These findings provide valuable information for targeted social interventions to prevent an increase in incidence of mental disorders during physical distancing measures.

Summary: Human behavior often consists of repeated action sequences that become automatic or habitual through extensive repetition. However, we are also required to react flexibly and in a goal-directed manner in response to events in our environment. In this study, we developed a novel behavioral paradigm to investigate how implicitly learned action sequences interfere with goal-directed control.

Summary: The study found that hypoactivation in the right inferior frontal gyrus during inhibition is specifically related to substance-related problems in individuals with SUDs. Interestingly, increased activity in the same region may serve as a resilience factor in substance use without SUDs. Future research should differentiate between processes linked to the degree of substance use and substance-related problems to better understand why some substance users develop SUDs while others do not.

Summary: Craving, induced by substance-related cues, plays a crucial role in continued substance use and relapse. Regulation of craving (ROC) is essential for successful treatment, and engaging with the risks of drug use (reappraisal) may be more beneficial than avoiding craving triggers (distraction). However, these effects do not seem to be mediated by lasting changes in cue-related motivated attention (LPP).

Summary: This article provides an overview of the mechanisms underlying goal-directed and habitual behavior in individuals with substance use disorders and summarizes the current state of research on this topic. The evidence regarding alterations in addiction and substance use is mixed and requires further investigation. Increased habitual responding is observed in more severely affected groups, while reduced model-based behavior is mainly observed in alcohol use disorder.

Summary: This article discusses how neuroimaging research can reveal the neural predictors of relapse in substance use disorders and how interventions can modify these markers. The study found that brain activity related to drug value and automatized use behaviors can predict relapse. Established and emerging interventions can help treat substance use disorders by modifying brain activity associated with drug value. However, executive deficits in addiction may affect the effectiveness of interventions targeting control-related brain areas.
