“…was presented for 2000 ms prior to the 150 ms blank delay. By using these procedures, we could ensure that an error had been consciously registered, thus focusing the task on reactivity to error feedback rather than less easily discernable individual differences in awareness of having made an error (Compton et al, 2008;Wilkowski & Robinson, 2008a).…”

“…With regard to endogenous triggers, compromised monitoring may also affect the user's insight into their own drug urges or stresslevels. A recent study has linked an electrophysiological marker of error processing (the error-related negativity) to success over 2 weeks in monitoring and regulating one's stress levels (Compton et al 2008). Not until the user can detect that the craving response (or its antecedents) has begun can he or she attempt to control it.…”

This paper reviews the role of the insula in drug craving. Evidence is presented that drug craving may be a particular instance of the anterior insula's broader role in interoception and subjective feeling states similar, for example, to thirst and hunger. An important role for the insula in craving is supported by evidence of insular activity changing with satiety and with the top-down cognitive modulation of cravings. Cognitive processes involving the insula's role in awareness of one's own behaviour may also contribute to craving insofar as the avoidance of craving might require subjective awareness of the endogenous and exogenous cues that initiate it. Finally, some consideration is given to sex differences and developmental processes in craving.

“…Such stressors were selected from the College Inventory of Daily Stressors (Kohn, Lafreniere, & Gurevich, 1990) and were chosen because they are frequent to everyday life and consequential in such protocols (e.g., Compton et al, 2008). Alpha for this scale was .85.…”

Two studies (total N = 147) sought to model emotion-regulation processes in cognitive-motoric terms. Hostile or non-hostile thoughts were primed and, immediately following, individuals held a joystick as accurately as possible on a presented visual target. Study 1 found that the activation of hostile thoughts impaired motor control at low levels of agreeableness, but facilitated motor control at high levels of agreeableness, consistent with emotion-regulation views of this trait.Study 2 did not assess the trait of agreeableness, but rather sought to determine whether better motor control following activated hostile thoughts would predict lesser reactivity to stressors in an experience-sampling protocol. It did and relevant results are reported for daily anger, negative affect, and positive affect. In addition, and consistent with the agreeableness findings of Study 1, better motor control following hostile thoughts predicted greater empathy on high stress days.Motor control probes of the present type thus appear consequential in understanding emotionregulation processes and successes in emotion regulation. (Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Muraven, & Tice, 1998). Personality traits such as impulsivity are based on the premise that some individuals have less control over their behaviors than others (Whiteside & Lynam, 2001). Clinical psychologists view many disorders -such as bulimia nervosa, borderline personality disorder, and drug addiction -at least in part in terms of losses of control (Butcher, Mineka, & Hooley, 2007). Many prominent theories of criminality associate it with losses of self-control as well (Raine, Brennan, Farrington, & Mednick, 1997). Self-control successes and failures, in fact, have emerged as a meta-perspective for multiple areas of psychology (Vohs & Baumeister, 2011). KEYWORDS: EmotionMany classic cases of apparent self-control failures are ambiguous, however. Alcoholics and drug addicts are surely damaging themselves and their lives, but may be willing participants in doing so (West & Hardy, 2006). Those prone to overeating may do so because they view such behaviors as effective coping strategies in dealing with stress or aversive emotions (Tice, Bratslavsky, & Baumeister, 2001). Criminal behaviors are rational to the extent that an individual's focus is on short-term rewards relative to longer-term negative consequences (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). Apparent self-control failures, then, may often be fully endorsed by the individual rather than reflecting losses of self-control, the latter defined as attempts to control one's behaviors without success in doing so (Muraven & Slessareva, 2003; Robinson, Scheichel, & Inzlicht, 2010). In more micro-momentary terms, though, it is clear that behavior cannot be Motor Control Accuracy 4 perfectly controlled (Slifkin & Newell, 1998). Accordingly, by developing more micromomentary probes of self-control, considerable insights into self-and emotion-regulation successes and failures might be modeled and understood. We sought to develop such a probe...
