The ability to distinguish between one’s own and others’ actions is a requirement for successful joint action. Such a distinction might be supported by dissociable motor activity underlying each partner’s individual contributions to the joint action. However, little research has directly compared motor activity associated with one’s own vs. others’ actions during joint action. The current study investigated whether motor-related cortical oscillations distinguish between self- and partner-produced actions when partners take turns producing taps to meet a joint timing goal. Across two experiments, the degree of beta suppression differentiated one’s own from a partner’s actions, with more suppression occurring during one’s own actions than during a partner’s actions. Self-partner differences in mu suppression were also evident, particularly when partners produced actions in succession. Increased beta suppression was also observed during partners’ actions when they were followed by one’s own actions, suggesting that the coordination demands imposed by the joint action could affect the pattern of beta reactivity during a turn-taking joint action. Together, these findings demonstrate that dynamic patterns of motor activity underpin successful joint action and that periods of distinct motor activity are associated with one’s own contributions to a joint action.

Emotion Regulation (ER) refers to the processes by which individuals influence their own emotions. It is a crucial aspect of human behavior, affecting everything from interpersonal relationships to mental health. The relationship between ER and Attachment Theory (AT) is pivotal. AT suggests that early bonds with primary caregivers influence future relationship expectations and behaviors. These initial experiences shape internal models of self and others, affecting how individuals regulate their emotions. Understanding the interplay between ER and AT is essential for comprehending the human affective system. In this study, we explored the neural underpinnings of ER, focusing on two distinct strategies: cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. Using electroencephalography (EEG), we examined changes in neural oscillations from 52 adults during an ER task. Specifically, we observed increased frontal theta activity (3–6 Hz) during reappraisal compared to suppression strategies. This frontal theta activity suggests enhanced cognitive control engagement. Conversely, during suppression, we noted a decrease in beta frequency (15–30 Hz) activity from central electrodes, indicative of differing neural processes. Further integrating psychological theories, we explored the relationship between these neural markers and dimensions of human attachment. Employing the Experiences in Close Relationships-12 scale (ECR-12), we identified a negative correlation between attachment anxiety and frontal theta activity. Lower levels of attachment anxiety were associated with increased theta activity, reflecting potentially more effective emotion regulation. Additionally, we found that higher theta activity corresponded with fewer difficulties in emotional control measured by the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Regarding central beta activity, our findings revealed an interesting correlation with Emotional Inattention, a concept tied to Attachment Avoidance. This suggests that central beta activity may serve as a neural marker for specific attachment-related ER processing. These results highlight the distinct neural pathways involved in different ER strategies and their relationship with the AT and neural responses during emotional processing.
情绪调节(ER)是指个人影响自身情绪的过程。它是人类行为的一个重要方面,影响着从人际关系到心理健康的方方面面。情绪调节与依恋理论(AT)之间的关系至关重要。依恋理论认为,早期与主要照顾者的联系会影响未来的关系预期和行为。这些最初的经历会塑造自我和他人的内部模型,影响个人如何调节情绪。了解ER和AT之间的相互作用对于理解人类情感系统至关重要。在这项研究中,我们探索了ER的神经基础,重点研究了两种不同的策略:认知再评价和表达抑制。我们使用脑电图(EEG)检查了 52 名成年人在执行 ER 任务时神经振荡的变化。具体来说,我们观察到,与抑制策略相比,在重新评估过程中,额叶θ活动(3-6赫兹)有所增加。这种额叶θ活动表明认知控制的参与得到了增强。相反,在抑制过程中,我们注意到来自中央电极的β频率(15-30 Hz)活动减少,这表明了不同的神经过程。结合心理学理论,我们进一步探索了这些神经标记与人类依恋层面之间的关系。通过使用亲密关系体验-12量表(ECR-12),我们发现依恋焦虑与额叶θ活动之间存在负相关。较低的依恋焦虑水平与较高的θ活动相关,这反映了潜在的更有效的情绪调节。此外,我们还发现,较高的θ活动与情绪调节困难量表(DERS)测量的较少情绪控制困难相对应。在中枢贝塔活动方面,我们的研究结果表明,贝塔活动与情感注意力不集中存在有趣的相关性,而情感注意力不集中是一个与依恋回避相关的概念。这表明,中枢β活动可能是特定依恋相关ER处理的神经标记。这些结果突显了不同的情感回避策略所涉及的不同神经通路,以及它们与情感处理过程中的依恋和神经反应之间的关系。

Human body core temperature is tightly regulated within approximately 37 °C. Global near surface temperature has increased by over 1.2 °C between 1850 and 2020. In light of the challenge this poses to human thermoregulation, the present perspective article sought to provide an overview on the effects of varying ambient and body temperature on cognitive, affective, and behavioural domains of functioning. To this end, an overview of observational and experimental studies in healthy individuals and individuals with mental disorders was provided. Within body core temperature at approximately 37 °C, relatively lower ambient and skin temperatures appear to evoke a need for social connection, whereas comparably higher temperatures appear to facilitate notions of other as closer and more sociable. Above-average ambient temperatures are associated with increased conflicts as well as incident psychotic and depressive symptoms, mental disorders, and suicide. With mild hypo- and hyperthermia, paradoxical effects are observed: whereas the acute states are generally characterised by impairments in cognitive performance, anxiety, and irritability, individuals with depression experience longer-term symptom improvements with treatments deliberately inducing these states for brief amounts of time. When taken together, it has thus become clear that temperature is inexorably associated with human cognition, affect, and (potentially) behaviour. Given the projected increase in global warming, further research into the affective and behavioural sequelae of heat and the mechanisms translating it into mental health outcomes is urgently warranted.

The retrieval of information from long-term memory is a fundamental cognitive ability, crucial for most aspects of successful human functioning. Whether and how long-term memory retrieval (LTMR) can be improved with training has clear societal importance but also theoretical value for furthering our understanding of underlying mechanisms. Here, we provide electrophysiological evidence for the plasticity of semantic LTMR. Thirty-five university students were randomly assigned to adaptive semantic LTMR training (using a Posner task) or to a non-adaptive version of the training. Before and after training they were assessed on measures of semantic LTMR, working memory, central executive function (interference control, switching), reading fluency, and fluid intelligence. Adaptive LTMR training (relative to non-adaptive training) led to significant improvements in semantic LTMR. The intervention group (in contrast to the control group) also showed a significant reduction in the mean amplitude of the N400 ERP component and 700–1000 ms measured during a semantic LTMR task, suggesting that changes in retrieval occurred at an early/automatic point and retrieval processing in semantic processing. Moreover, transfer effects were observed for switching, working memory and reading fluency, but not for interference control or fluid intelligence. These results point to the plasticity of semantic LTMR, and suggest that improvement in this ability can transfer to other domains for which LTMR is key.

Given the high prevalence of anxiety disorders and their associated impairment, elucidating neural mechanisms related to these disorders has been increasingly prioritized. The error-related negativity (ERN) has been identified as a neural marker that indexes risk for anxiety across development. The ERN seems to confer risk for developing anxiety, especially in the context of stressful life events. The present study sought to examine sleep-related difficulties as another stressful factor that might impact the ERN. In a sample of 221 girls, aged 8 to 15 years old, we first examined the relationship between longer-term (i.e., over the past month) and shorter-term (i.e., over the past week) sleep difficulties and the ERN. We then investigated whether specific sleep difficulties uniquely predict the ERN. In exploratory analyses, we assessed whether sleep difficulties moderate the relationship between the ERN and anxiety. Results indicated that youth who report longer-term lower sleep duration, longer-term worse sleep, and shorter-term lower sleep duration on school days over the past week have a larger (i.e., more negative) ERN. Additionally, only shorter-term sleep duration on school days over the past week uniquely predicted the ERN. Finally, an elevated ERN predicted greater clinical anxiety in the context of longer-term sleep difficulties. Future studies should clarify the direction of these associations via longitudinal designs.

Don C. Fowles
This paper focuses on Jeffrey Gray’s theory of anxiety from the perspective of Fowles’ (1980) application of his work to theories of arousal, psychophysiology, and the etiology of psychopathy. Although highly influential, the concept of general arousal failed to find support in terms of between-individuals assessment with multiple physiological measures. Gray’s constructs of a behavioral inhibition system (BIS) that mediates anxiety, a behavioral approach or activation system (BAS) that energizes behavior to approach rewards, and a nonspecific arousal system that energizes behavior captured aspects of arousal. Fowles (1980) proposed that the BIS elicits electrodermal activity in response to threats, the BAS increases heart rate in response to reward incentive cues, and psychopathy is associated with a weak BIS. The paper reviews Gray’s impact on future research on these topics, including early proposals relevant to the National Institute of Mental Health’s Research Domain Criteria. Finally, the paper summarizes the evolution of theories of the etiology of psychopathy since 1980, noting ways in which aspects of Gray’s theory are still seen in psychopathy research. Patrick’s triarchic model has emerged as a major theory of psychopathy. Beauchaine’s trait impulsivity theory of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder also is relevant.
本文从 Fowles(1980 年)将杰弗里-格雷的焦虑理论应用于唤醒理论、心理生理学和变态心理学病因学的角度出发,重点论述了杰弗里-格雷的焦虑理论。一般唤醒的概念虽然极具影响力,但却未能通过多种生理测量方法在个体间的评估中找到支持。格雷提出的行为抑制系统(BIS)是焦虑的中介,行为接近或激活系统(BAS)使行为更接近奖赏,非特异性唤醒系统使行为更有活力,这些概念捕捉到了唤醒的各个方面。Fowles(1980 年)提出,BIS 会在受到威胁时激发皮电活动,BAS 会在受到奖励激励暗示时提高心率,而精神变态则与 BIS 弱有关。本文回顾了格雷对这些课题未来研究的影响,包括与美国国家心理健康研究所研究领域标准相关的早期建议。最后,本文总结了自 1980 年以来变态心理学病因学理论的演变,指出了格雷理论的某些方面在变态心理学研究中仍然存在。帕特里克的三元模型已成为心理变态的主要理论。Beauchaine关于注意力缺陷多动症的特质冲动理论也与此相关。

Color is a visual cue that can convey emotions and attract attention, and there is no doubt that brightness is an important element of color differentiation. To examine the impact of art training on color perception, 44 participants were assigned to two groups—one for those with and one for those without art training—in an EEG experiment. While the participants had their electroencephalographic data recorded, they scored their emotional responses to color stimuli of different brightness levels based on the Munsell color system. The behavioral results revealed that in both groups, high-brightness colors were rated more positively than low-brightness colors. Furthermore, event-related potential results for the artist group showed that high-brightness colors enhanced P2 and P3 amplitudes. Moreover, non-artists had longer N2 latency than artists, and there was a significant Group × Brightness interaction separately for the N2 and P3 components. Simple effect analysis showed that N2 and P3 amplitudes were substantially higher for high-brightness stimuli than for lower-brightness stimuli in the artistic group, but this was not the case in the non-artist group. Additionally, evoked event-related oscillation results showed that in both groups, high-brightness stimuli also elicited large delta, theta, and alpha as well as low gamma responses. These results indicate that high-brightness color stimuli elicit more positive emotions and stronger neurological reactions and that artistic training may have a positive effect on top-down visual perception.
