The present research was designed to test whether the subjective experience of more effort
related to more reward valuation as measured by a neural response. This prediction was …

Stress-induced dysfunction of reward processing is documented to be a critical factor
associated with mental illness. Although many studies have attempted to clarify the …

The functional role of high beta oscillations (20–35 Hz) during feedback processing has
been suggested to reflect unexpected gains. Using a novel gambling task that separates …

Risk and ambiguity are two fundamental parameters in decision making, and it remains
elusive whether they are dissociable at the neural level. The current EEG study examined …

Contextual valence is an important dimension during value‐based decision‐making.
Previous research has revealed behavioral and neural asymmetries between the gain …

Adopting a sequential risk-taking task, this study explored the modulation of attentional
deployment on regret. Attentional deployment was manipulated during outcome feedback of …

We found earlier that performance‐contingent rewards lead to faster performance than
equivalent losses [Carsten, Hoofs, Boehler, & Krebs, 2019. Motivation Science, 5 (3) …

Substantial evidence indicates that feedback processing not only varies with the valence of
feedback, but is also highly dependent on contextual factors. Even so, the influence of prior …

People often display stronger aversion to losses than appetite for equivalent gains, a
widespread phenomenon known as loss aversion. The prevailing theory attributes loss …

Both human and animal studies have demonstrated remarkable findings of experience-
induced plasticity in the cortex. Here, we investigated whether the widely used monetary …
