简单动作的准确性通过特定的大脑监控系统迅速确定。然而，目前尚不清楚这种评价是否伴随着对行动的快速和相容的情感评价，允许将不正确的行动标记为负面/不良，并将正确的行动标记为正面/良好。在这项研究中，我们使用了一种新的方法来解码参与者在标准Go/noGo任务中产生的简单动作的情感价值。在每个Go/noGo动作之后，参与者立即对积极或消极词的效价做出反应。结果表明，在Go/noGo任务期间执行的错误警报导致相对于积极词的负面词的更快的评价性分类。当这两个事件之间的间隔被设置为300或600毫秒，但不是1000毫秒时，这种动作词的评价性启动效应发生。最后，更高水平的特质焦虑与评价性启动效应的减少。我们的研究结果表明，简单的行动迅速评估为积极或消极的自动监测其感知的准确性。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The accuracy of simple actions is swiftly determined through specific monitoring brain systems. However, it remains unclear whether this evaluation is accompanied by a rapid and compatible emotional appraisal of the action that allows to mark incorrect actions as negative/bad and conversely correct actions as positive/good. In this study, we used a new method to decode the affective value of simple actions generated by participants during a standard Go/noGo task. Immediately after each Go/noGo action, participants responded to the valence of either a positive or a negative word. Results showed that False Alarms performed during the Go/noGo task led to a faster evaluative categorization of negative words relative to positive words. This action-word evaluative priming effect occurred when the interval between these two events was set to either 300 or 600 ms, but not 1000 ms. Finally, higher levels of trait anxiety were associated with a reduction of the evaluative priming effect. Our results suggest that simple actions are rapidly evaluated as positive or negative depending on the automatic monitoring of their perceived accuracy. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
