Theory of Attribution I: Correspondent Inference Theory

Theory of Attribution I: Correspondent Inference Theory

Correspondent inference theory, proposed by Jones and Davis in 1965, seeks to explain how individuals infer stable personality traits from observed behaviors. It suggests that people attribute actions to underlying dispositions rather than external circumstances, particularly when the behavior appears intentional and socially significant.Voluntary Behavior and Dispositional AttributionAccording to this theory, individuals are more likely to attribute behavior to personal traits when it appears...

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

Facial Feedback Hypothesis

Charles Darwin proposed that facial expressions are an evolutionary adaptation for communication. He argued that these expressions are not influenced by culture but are universal across species. For example, a snarling expression with exposed teeth signals a threat in many animals, including humans. Darwin also suggested that displaying an emotion can intensify the feeling. Smiling, for example, could enhance one's sense of happiness. This idea laid the foundation for understanding the role of...

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Cognitive Neuroscience
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)

Background:

Neuronal activity during resting state may influence responses to external stimuli.
Understanding baseline brain activity is crucial for interpreting task-evoked responses in neuroimaging.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the relationship between ongoing neuronal activity at rest and subsequent responses to brain stimulation.
To determine if resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) BOLD signal characteristics predict stimulus-evoked BOLD responses in the visual cortex.

Main Methods:

fMRI BOLD signals were acquired from the human visual cortex of 15 healthy subjects.
Data were collected both in the absence (resting-state) and presence of visual stimulation.
Temporal correlation strength and amplitude of baseline BOLD fluctuations were analyzed.

Main Results:

The temporal correlation strength of baseline BOLD signals positively correlated with the amplitude of stimulus-evoked BOLD responses.
Baseline BOLD signal amplitude did not show a significant correlation with stimulus-evoked responses.
Spatiotemporal correlations of baseline BOLD signals revealed a coherent visual network similar to the resting-state visual network.

Conclusions:

Synchronization of ongoing brain activity is critical for determining stimulus-evoked brain activity, even in early sensory processing.
The correlation between baseline BOLD and stimulus-evoked BOLD amplitude helps explain inter-subject variability in fMRI studies.
Integrating resting-state network information with task-evoked responses enhances understanding of brain function.
