Tiffany Nature Dragonfly disc pendant and Dragonfly disc pendant

Although several studies have investigated learning in individuals with Large Elsa Peretti Sevillana pendant traits at a behavioural level, learning deficits in individuals diagnosed with PP have never been studied in relation to the underlying electrophysiological markers of performance or error monitoring. Until now, most studies either focused on individuals with behavioural patterns related to PP (Dikman & Allen, 2000; Hall et al. 2007) or investigated aspects of error monitoring unrelated to learning (Munro et al. 2007; Brazil et al. 2009). An investigation of reward and avoidance learning in low socialized individuals (a concept related to PP; Kosson & Newman, 1989) has shown diminished rERN amplitudes only in the punishment condition (Dikman & Allen, 2000). Medium Elsa Peretti Sevillana pendant study demonstrated reduced rERN amplitudes in healthy individuals scoring high on externalizing psychopathology, a factor comparable to the behavioural deficit cluster in individuals with PP (Hall et al. 2007). Only two studies have investigated the rERN directly in individuals diagnosed with PP. Munro et al. (2007) used a neutral and an emotional choice-reaction task and found reduced rERNs in the emotional task only. Brazil et al. (2009) reported no differences in rERN amplitude between healthy controls and individuals with PP on a neutral task, but did demonstrate problems in the conscious evaluation and signalling of errors. Taken together, Small Elsa Peretti Sevillana pendant studies point towards learning deficits associated with a failure to detect and use internal and external error signals.

The present study was designed to examine the relationship between error monitoring and reinforcement learning in individuals diagnosed with PP, by investigating the rERN and fERN and the relationship between the two while learning progresses. To investigate this, a probabilistic learning task was used in which Tiffany Nature Dragonfly disc pendant learned stimulus-response mappings based on feedback about their performance (trial-and-error learning; see, for example, Holroyd & Coles, 2002; Nieuwenhuis et al. 2002, 2005). A crucial aspect of the task is that the imperative stimulus presented on each trial differed in the degree to which the response was predictive of the value of the feedback (50, 80 and 100%).

Compared with healthy controls, we expected individuals with PP to display Elsa Peretti Star of David pendant difficulties, reflected behaviourally by reduced accuracy and electrophysiologically by smaller amplitudes of rERN, fERN and a slower propagation in time of the fERN to become an rERN.
