动机在错误加工中的不一致效应:争议与整合OACHSSCDCSTPCD

Error processing is a high-level cognitive process that detects the occurrence of errors and makes subsequent adjustments.Numerous studies have shown that motivation(e.g.,reward,punishment,etc.)can affect error processing,but the findings are inconsistent.By comparing previous studies,we propose that factors such as age,gender,experimental design,personality and culture may affect the relationship between motivation and error processing.Integrating them together,we further propose that task relevance could serve as a potential joint mechanism for these effects,that is,in tasks that are highly relevant to individual goals,error processing would be enhanced(e.g.,heightened ERN/Pe amplitude)when one's motivation is stronger;but in low relevant tasks,the motivational effects on error processing would be weaker.Within this theoretical framework,the above factors may moderate the relationship between motivation and error processing by affecting task relevance.This new viewpoint can contribute to explaining the complex relationship between motivation and error processing.Future research is needed to empirically examine the effects of the above factors and task relevance,explore the motivational role of different error types and the motivational function of error itself,and further explore how motivational and cognitive factors may interact to affect error processing,which would advance the motivational theory of error processing.
