Responses to Success: Seeking Pleasant Experiences before a Task Is Complete?
Although engaging in pleasant experiences following successful performance may be hedonically rewarding, in the present research we proposed that individuals might forego pleasant experiences when they have not yet completed a task. In Study 1 (N = 100), participants reported the extent to which they would like to engage in pleasant experiences in a hypothetical situation where their performanc...
متن کاملSetbacks, pleasant surprises and the simply unexpected: brainwave responses in a language comprehension task.
This event-related potential (ERP) study explored the behaviour of N400 and post-N400 frontal positivities (pN400FP) during the processing of emotionally biased and unbiased sentences that randomly led to highly expected or unexpected word outcomes. Unexpected outcomes (as determined by sentence completion written tests) elicited significantly larger N400 and pN400FP responses than did highly e...
متن کاملEmotional responses to pleasant and unpleasant olfactory, visual, and auditory stimuli: a positron emission tomography study.
Neural correlates of responses to emotionally valenced olfactory, visual, and auditory stimuli were examined using positron emission tomography. Twelve volunteers were scanned using the water bolus method. For each sensory modality, regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) during presentation of both pleasant and unpleasant stimuli was compared with that measured during presentation of neutral stimu...
متن کاملVicarious responses to social touch in posterior insular cortex are tuned to pleasant caressing speeds.
BACKGROUND Affective touch carries strong significance for social mammals, including humans. Gentle, dynamic touch of a kind that occurs during social interactions is preferentially encoded by a distinct neural pathway involving tactile C (CT) afferents, a type of unmyelinated afferent nerve found exclusively in hairy skin. CT afferents increase firing when the skin is stroked at a pleasant, ca...
متن کاملScheduling with two non-unit task lengths is NP-complete
We consider the non-preemptive task scheduling problem with release times and deadlines on a single machine parameterized by the set of task lengths the tasks can have. The identical task lengths case is known to be solvable in polynomial time. We prove that the problem with two task lengths is NP-complete, except for the case in which the short jobs have unit task length, which was already kno...
