概括
货币和社会奖励任务激活类似的神经反应,通过奖励积极性 (RewP) 和脑波活动来衡量. 任务设计和奖励类型影响这些神经反应在不同任务中的相关性.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 认知心理学 认知心理学
- 社会神经科学是一种社会神经科学.
背景情况:
- 对奖励的神经反应通常使用货币任务来研究.
- 对社会奖励日益增长的兴趣需要修改任务设计.
- 了解任务设计和奖励类型的影响对于精神病理学研究至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 研究神经对金钱和社会奖励的反应.
- 为了比较不同奖励任务的脑电图 (EEG) 测量.
- 检查任务相似性对神经反应相关性的影响.
主要方法:
- 303名18岁的学生完成了一项货币门任务和两个社会任务 (社会门,岛屿逃生).
- 电脑电图 (EEG) 记录了奖励阳性 (RewP),三角形和活动.
- 相关性分析检查了跨任务的神经反应的相似性.
主要成果:
- 所有任务都引发了 RewP,有利的结果具有更大的 delta 活动,不利的结果则具有更大的 theta 活动.
- 神经反应在任务之间具有积极的相关性.
- 对于具有类似试验结构的任务,相关性比具有类似奖励类型的任务更强.
结论:
- 货币和社会奖励任务可以引起类似的神经奖励信号.
- 任务设计和奖励类型影响不同奖励范式中神经反应的一致性.

Reinforcement Schedules
Positive reinforcement is a powerful method for teaching new behaviors to both animals and humans. B.F. Skinner demonstrated this with his experiments using rats in a Skinner box. When a rat pressed a lever, it received a food pellet. This immediate reward encouraged the rat to repeat the behavior. This method, where a reward follows every instance of the behavior, is known as continuous reinforcement. It is highly effective for establishing new behaviors quickly.

Timing and Consequences on Behavior
In operant conditioning, the timing of reinforcement is crucial. For animals like rats and cats, immediate reinforcement (within a few seconds) is much more effective than delayed reinforcement. For example, a food reward for a rat needs to follow within 30 seconds of pressing a bar to be effective.
Humans, however, can respond to delayed reinforcers. We often make decisions between immediate small rewards and delayed larger rewards. This ability to delay gratification is a significant factor...
