检测和处理他人所犯错误的能力在许多社会环境中发挥着重要作用。处理错误的能力通常依赖于内侧额叶皮层的位点。然而，这些网站的反应主要是由行动错误本身还是由通常与其行为相关的情感后果驱动，仍有待确定。使用一种实验范式来解开动作错误及其情感后果的效价，我们证明了内侧额叶皮层（MFC）中的部位，包括腹侧前扣带皮层（vACC）和前补充运动区（pre-SMA），对动作错误的反应与其后果的效价无关。这种反应的强度与人际反应指数的移情关注子量表呈负相关。我们还通过证明朋友和敌人所犯的错误在中前扣带皮层（mACC）的一个单独区域引起显着不同的 BOLD 反应来证明自我认同的主要影响。这些结果表明，我们看待他人的方式在确定错误观察期间大脑激活模式方面起着至关重要的作用。这些发现可能对错误处理的一般理论具有重要意义。
The ability to detect and process errors made by others plays an important role is many social contexts. The capacity to process errors is typically found to rely on sites in the medial frontal cortex. However, it remains to be determined whether responses at these sites are driven primarily by action errors themselves or by the affective consequences normally associated with their commission. Using an experimental paradigm that disentangles action errors and the valence of their affective consequences, we demonstrate that sites in the medial frontal cortex (MFC), including the ventral anterior cingulate cortex (vACC) and pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA), respond to action errors independent of the valence of their consequences. The strength of this response was negatively correlated with the empathic concern subscale of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index. We also demonstrate a main effect of self-identification by showing that errors committed by friends and foes elicited significantly different BOLD responses in a separate region of the middle anterior cingulate cortex (mACC). These results suggest that the way we look at others plays a critical role in determining patterns of brain activation during error observation. These findings may have important implications for general theories of error processing.
