“…The oFRN was also larger for friends than strangers in one study (Kang, Hirsh, & Chasteen, 2010), but not in another (Leng & Zhou, 2010). Interestingly, cooperative vs. antagonistic relationships between the participant and another virtual player during a gambling task produced no effects on ERPs to own losses, but the oFRN/oMFN were amplified for losses of cooperating partners and gains of antagonistic partners, indicating an evaluation of outcomes based on self-interest (Itagaki & Katayama, 2008;Marco-Pallares, Kramer, Strehl, Schroder, & Munte, 2010).…”

“…For the observation condition, if others' performance feedback is mainly processed according to self-centered reward outcome (Hajcak, et al, 2006;Holroyd & Coles, 2002), as previously suggested (Itagaki & Katayama, 2008;Marco-Pallares, et al, 2010), the oFRN should be larger in cooperating observers for negative compared to positive outcomes, whereas an inverse effect may be found in competing observers. However, because an oFRN has also been reported for neutral observers (Fukushima & Hiraki, 2009;Leng & Zhou, 2010;Marco-Pallares, et al, 2010;Yu & Zhou, 2006) and attributed to simulation processes, a smaller oFRN might also arise during competition, where self-and other-based evaluations might interfere with each other. Indeed, recent fMRI data suggested a possible dissociation between error monitoring and reward processing in competing observers (de Bruijn, et al, 2009).…”

“…Thus, observing errors made by others also elicits a negative ERP, the observer ERN (oERN), whose topography and sources resemble the ERN but with delayed latencies (Bates, Patel, & Liddle, 2005;Carp, Halenar, Quandt, Sklar, & Compton, 2009;Koban, Pourtois, Vocat, & Vuilleumier, 2010;Miltner, Brauer, Hecht, Trippe, & Coles, 2004;van Schie, Mars, Coles, & Bekkering, 2004). Likewise, an observer FRN (oFRN) can be measured during the same time-window as the classical FRN (around 200-300 ms), but with smaller amplitudes for observers than agents of actions (Fukushima & Hiraki, 2009;Leng & Zhou, 2010;Yu & Zhou, 2006), possibly reflecting a decreased saliency of other-generated errors relative to one's own (Bellebaum, Kobza, Thiele, & Daum, 2010). Unlike the oERN (to the best of our knowledge), the neural sources of the oFRN have not been investigated yet.…”

Outcome monitoring is crucial for subsequent adjustments in behavior and is associated with a specific electrophysiological response, the feedback-related negativity (FRN). Besides feedback generated by one's own action, the performance of others may also be relevant for oneself, and the observation of outcomes for others' actions elicits an observer FRN (oFRN). To test how these components are influenced by social setting and predictive value of feedback information, we compared event-related potentials, as well as their topographies and neural generators, for performance feedback generated by oneself and others in a cooperative versus competitive context. Our results show that (1) the predictive relevance of outcomes is crucial to elicit an FRN in both players and observers, (2) cooperation increases FRN and P300 amplitudes, especially in individuals with high traits of perspective taking, and (3) contrary to previous findings on gambling outcomes, oFRN components are generated for both cooperating and competing observers, but with smaller amplitudes in the latter. Neural source estimation revealed medial prefrontal activity for both FRN and oFRN, but with additional generators for the oFRN in the dorsolateral and ventral prefrontal cortex, as well as the temporoparietal junction. We conclude that the latter set of brain regions could mediate social influences on action monitoring by representing agency and social relevance of outcomes and are, therefore, recruited in addition to shared prediction error signals generated in medial frontal areas during action outcome observation

“…In both conditions participants showed an FRN whenever they incurred a loss. A recent study by Leng and Zhou [22] is also important in this regard: Whereas the observation of a loss of a performer elicited an FRN in observers, its amplitude was not modulated by the personal relationship between the performer and observer, i.e. observers watching a close friend losing money and observers watching a complete stranger had indistinguishable FRNs.…”

“…the other's gain). The personal acquaintance of participants in the Fukuhima and Hiraki [19] study might have enhanced their empathic response, which could have overriden the evaluative component, at least in the female participants (see however Leng and Zhou [22]). However, in the present study participants did not know each other before the experiment, leading to a predominant response from the evaluative component.…”

BackgroundActions of others may have immediate consequences for oneself. We probed the neural responses associated with the observation of another person's action using event-related potentials in a modified gambling task. In this task a "performer" bet either a higher or lower number and could win or lose this amount. Three different groups of "observers" were also studied. The first (neutral) group simply observed the performer's action, which had no consequences for the observers. In the second (parallel) group, wins/losses of the performer were paralleled by similar wins and losses by the observer. In the third (reverse) group, wins of the performer led to a loss of the observer and vice versa.ResultsERPs of the performers showed a mediofrontal feedback related negativity (FRN) to losses. The neutral and parallel observer groups did similarly show an FRN response to the performer's losses with a topography indistinguishable from that seen in the performers. In the reverse group, however, the FRN occurred for wins of the performer which translated to losses for the observer.ConclusionsTaking into account previous experiments, we suggest that the FRN response in observers is driven by two evaluative processes (a) related to the benefit/loss for oneself and (b) related to the benefit/loss of another person.
