Neuronale Korrelate des strategischen Entscheidungsverhaltens und ihre Beeinflussung durch gelernte Hilflosigkeit
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
The main results of the experiments performed in the course of this project were: - The same brain structures are recruited before and after learning the decision-making task applied. Automatisation of performance is accompanied by a change in the degree of activation of the same brain areas, not with the recruitment of different brain areas as strategies are developed. - PTSD patients show slower learning as compared to healthy controls. This might be related to their reduced brain activation in reward-related brain structures following the experience of gains. - Learning decreases the feedback-related negativity, i.e., a relatively negative deflection at FCz after loss compared to gain feedback. These results lend further support to the view that the FRN is a reward prediction signal. - Learning progresses slower in subjects who are in the state of "learned helplessness", even if they reach 100% correct responses in the end. The relationship to neural processes is currently further analysed.
