“…For example, the study shows that self-serving dishonesty gradually increases with repetition 19 . A recent fNIRS study shows how the reward system activates during the entire course of dishonest behavior and the way in which it affects dishonest decisions 66 . Our findings further suggest that such monetary reward-based manipulation is effective for motivated dishonesty 7,23,67,68 .…”

Moral decisions are multifaceted with two essential aspects, flexibility and consistency. However, the interaction between these two and the underlying mechanisms is rarely studied. Here, we combined mouse-tracking and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) together in a value-based moral decision task, which allows us to quantify accumulative history responses as self-consistency. Using a multi-attribute time-dependent drift-diffusion model (tDDM), we disentangled the role of consistency and self-interest, highlighting the dominant role of cognitive-control-related regions. The drift rate of self-consistency was directly associated with the brain activity responsible for cognitive control, while the relationship between the reward and the activity of the related brain regions was mediated by the mouse-tracking index area under the curve(AUC). Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was revealed as a hub connecting prACC and ventral striatum, whose functional connectivity was correlated with consistency drift rate and reward drift rate respectively. Furthermore, decision flexibility was quantified by choice entropy, which links to mouse tracking indices and the activity of cognitive - control related regions. Together, our study uncovers the interplay between self-consistency and reward in behavior, and highlights the key role of cognitive control in modulating these two attributes, thereby deepening our understanding of consistency and flexibility in moral decisions.

“…Most previous neuroimaging studies focus on how cognitive control plays a part in dishonest behavior (Abe, 2009; Christ et al, 2009; Ding et al, 2013; Ding, Sai, et al, 2014). Thus, existing studies have examined the role of the neural cognitive control network in lying extensively, though recent studies have also begun to study how the neural reward system plays a part in spontaneous dishonest behavior in adults (Abe & Greene, 2014; Liang et al, 2021). As this study found that parental warmth might potentially serve as a positive reward system in children’s development of (dis)honest behavior, future studies could investigate how reward systems, along with the theory-of-mind network, play a joint role in the development of children’s lying behavior.…”

Lying is a prevalent and normative behavior in young children. Conceptually, it is strongly linked with children’s theory-of-mind development. However, empirical studies show that the link between children’s lying and theory-of-mind is heterogeneous. This study examined whether parental control and parental warmth moderate the link between children’s lying and theory-of-mind understanding. Three- to six-year-old Singaporean children ( N = 116, Mage = 59 months, 59 male, 81.0% Chinese) participated in the temptation resistance paradigm, in which they were asked to guess the identity of a toy but instructed not to peek at it when left alone. Parental control and parental warmth were assessed via a parent–child interactive game. Results showed that the relation between children’s maintenance of their initial lie and general theory-of-mind understanding was moderated by parental warmth. Specifically, there was a negative relation between children’s lying and theory-of-mind for dyads with high parental warmth, but a positive relation between children’s lying and theory-of-mind for dyads with low parental warmth. Overall, the findings suggest that children’s lying behavior is the outcome of a complex interaction between cognitive and social factors.

“…44 We perceive almost all stimuli under any circumstances; therefore, it is challenging to aggregate perception studies. To the best of our knowledge, perception of depth, 45 emotion, [46][47][48] face, 49 reward, 50,51 self-agency, 52 and time 53 have been reported. Finally, reading studies include dyslexia 54 and overt reading 55 (reading aloud).…”
