The trait anger affects conflict inhibition: a Go/Nogo ERP study
نویسندگان
چکیده
To explore the time course of inhibitory control in high trait anger individuals, we recorded and analyzed ERP data relevant to visual Go/Nogo task in high and low trait anger participants. Compared with low trait anger participants, high trait anger participants revealed faster RTs in the Go/Nogo task. The nogo effect of N2 related to conflict monitoring was similar between two groups. While the P3go was larger in high than low trait anger groups, the P3nogo did not differ between two groups. This induced the smaller nogo effect of P3 in high than that in low trait anger group, which is closely related to the actual inhibition of the motor system. These data suggest the reduced later stage of inhibitory processes in high trait anger individuals, implicating the dysfunction of inhibitory control.

Behavioral inhibition in female college students with schizotypal traits: An event-related potential study
This study investigated behavioral inhibition in female college students with psychometrically defined schizotypal traits using a Go/NoGo task and eventrelated potentials (ERPs). The schizotypal-trait (n = 15) and normal control (n = 15) groups were selected based on scores of the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ). The Go/NoGo task consisted of Go (requires response) and NoGo (require...
متن کاملA Computational Simulation of Electrophysiological Markers of Anterior Cingulate Function in a Go/NoGo task
We have recently presented empirical evidence for the view that the NoGo-N2, an event-related brain potential (ERP) component observed in Go/NoGo tasks, reflects conflict arising from competition between the execution and inhibition of a single response (Nieuwenhuis, Yeung, Van den Wildenberg, & Ridderinkhof, in press). Furthermore, the source of the NoGo-N2 was localized to anterior cingulate ...
متن کاملLong-Term Exposure to High Altitude Affects Response Inhibition in the Conflict-monitoring Stage
To investigate the effects of high-altitude exposure on response inhibition, event-related potential (ERP) components N2 and P3 were measured in Go/NoGo task. The participants included an 'immigrant' high-altitude group (who had lived at high altitude for three years but born at low altitude) and a low-altitude group (living in low altitude only). Although the behavioural data showed no signifi...
متن کاملSequence effects support the conflict theory of N2 and P3 in the Go/NoGo task.
In two-choice tasks the preceding sequence of stimuli robustly influences both the P3 ERP component and reaction time (RT) to the current stimulus. We examined sequence effects in both two-choice and Go/NoGo tasks to distinguish between inhibition and conflict accounts of the N2 and P3 components. RT results suggested similar subjective expectancies were generated in the Go/NoGo and two-choice ...

Objective: To study cortical potentials associated with suppression of intended motoric actions. Methods: Electro-encephalographic activity was recorded in a Go/NoGo reaction time paradigm. Subjects viewed computer-generated pacing stimuli, which provided information concerning the time at which an imperative Go/NoGo signal occurred. A motoric response was required following Go stimuli while mo...
