“…Inconsistent interpretations of the feedback P3 preclude confident conclusions. Whereas Euser et al () associated both FRN and feedback P3 with outcome evaluation and found both components to be altered in AUD, Padrón and colleagues distinguished FRN as sensitive to outcome valence from feedback P3 as affected by outcome magnitude: “FRN and the feedback P300 in fact reflect different performance monitoring processes in a flexible way that depends on the behavioral context” (Padrón, Fernández‐Rey, Acuña, & Pardo‐Vazquez, , p. 264). Smaller FRN in present AUD may have reflected less sensitivity to “primary or salient stimulus attributes (often gain vs. loss) …” (Bernat, Nelson, & Baskin‐Sommers, , p. 1), whereas outcome magnitude in the present task was less relevant, explaining the similar feedback P3 in AUD and HC.…”

Decision‐ and feedback‐related brain potentials reveal risk processing mechanisms in patients with alcohol use disorder

Individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) are aware of the risks of alcohol abuse yet continue risky drinking. Research indicates that dysfunctional decision processes and trait variables such as impulsivity contribute to this awareness‐behavior discrepancy. The present study focused on decision‐related versus feedback‐related processes as potential contributors to decision making in AUD by examining the relationship between decision choices and decision‐ and feedback‐related ERP phenomena in the balloon analogue risk task (BART). N = 39 AUD and n = 35 healthy comparison participants (HC) performed the BART modified for EEG assessment. In each of 100 runs, participants made a series of choices about whether to pump up a virtual balloon, which popped pseudorandomly, ending the run. Alternatively, participants ended the run by pressing a “cash‐out” button. Each pump not producing a pop provided .05 €; popping resulted in loss of the run’s accumulated gain. Groups made similar choices, though AUD responded more slowly. The decision P3 200‒400 ms after decision prompt (balloon) was larger in AUD than in HC, and decision P3 enhancement on high‐risk trials predicted choices to pump. Feedback‐related negativity (FRN) after loss (relative to cash out) feedback was smaller in AUD than in HC, suggesting indifference to negative feedback. In AUD, high impulsivity was associated with risk‐modulated decision P3 but not FRN. Results indicate atypical decision‐ and feedback‐related processes that could contribute to difficulties in engaging with daily challenges effectively.

“…During the “draw” condition, our PCE cohort showed smaller P300 amplitudes, which in the context of the game presented can be seen as a failure to win money one could have won. The P300 during decision-making and outcome feedback may be associated with evaluation of probability and estimation of future chances based upon working memory and past experiences (Padron, Fernandez-Rey, Acuna, & Pardo-Vazquez, 2016; Wang et al, 2015). Indeed, smaller P300 amplitudes have been associated with increased cognitive rigidity and poorer performance in tasks of executive function (Dong, Du, & Qi, 2016).…”

Impaired cognitive control is a consequence of cocaine exposure. Difficulty with feedback processing may underlie this impairment. We examined neural correlates of feedback processing using event-related potentials (ERPs) in 49 prenatally cocaine-exposed (PCE) and 34 nondrug exposed (NDE) adolescents. Adolescents performed a reward-feedback task with win/no-win feedback in a chance-based task. We investigated amplitude and latency of the feedback-related negativity (FRN) and P300 ERP components and source-based estimates elicited during feedback processing. PCE adolescents had smaller P300 amplitudes for no-win feedback, and source analysis in the P300 time window revealed differences between groups localized to the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex.

“…To the best of our knowledge, few studies have investigated the relationship between feedback-related ERPs and task difficulty. Several studies have reported that no effect of the task difficulty was shown on the FRN [79][80][81]. Another study has reported the opposite evidence [82].…”

“…Another study has reported the opposite evidence [ 82 ]. In contrast, P300 was found to be sensitive to task difficulty [ 80 , 81 ]. Research on feedback-related ERPs and task difficulty is still insufficient.…”

“…Thus, in this case, we hypothesized that a larger RewP would be evoked. Because previous studies have reported that P300 is sensitive to task difficulty [ 80 , 81 ], we hypothesized that P300 amplitude is probably modulated by either subjective or objective task difficulty. To the best of our knowledge, no studies on the modulation of feedback-related ERPs in the presence of social factors in addition to the separation of feedback task difficulty into subjective and objective task difficulties have been reported.…”

In this study, the relationship between two types of feedback task difficulties and feedback-related brain potentials, such as feedback-related negativity (FRN), reward positivity (RewP), and P300, was investigated in social situations where participants performed a task simultaneously by a pair. The electroencephalogram activity was measured while participants answered four-choice questions with their partners. Participants were informed about the general accuracy rate of the question (objective task difficulty) before responding to the questionnaire. The feedback outcome was definitely correct when the participants had the knowledge to answer the questions correctly. Therefore, the subjective task difficulty depended on the knowledge of the participant and differed from the objective task difficulty. In the task, the participants selected the choice they deemed correct. Before checking the answers, participants responded to the preceding question’s subjective task difficulty. As one of the social factors, the task consisted of two types of conditions: one, in which one’s response affected partner’s reward, and another, in which it did not. The second social factor was the order of feedback outcomes; in our experiment, these outcomes were presented sequentially to pairs of participants. The effects of subjective and objective task difficulties and social factors on feedback-related brain potentials were comprehensively analyzed. The study showed that subjective task difficulty sensitively modulated the amplitude of gain-related P300, suggesting that it is sensitive to modulation in the allocation of attentional resources to own feedback outcome. The objective task difficulty sensitively modulated the amplitude of RewP after receiving the partner’s incorrect feedback outcome. RewP was more sensitive to positive affective valence, such as feelings of superiority over the partner, than to task-dependent rewards received by the participants themselves. In contrast, FRN was more negative in the joint condition than in the individual condition, suggesting sensitivity to social responsibility felt by participants toward their partners.
