政治科学家和心理学家指出，平均而言，保守派表现出更有条理和持久的认知风格，而自由派则对信息的复杂性、模糊性和新奇性更敏感。我们测试的假设，这些配置文件涉及到一般的神经认知功能的差异，使用事件相关电位，并发现，更大的自由主义与更强的冲突相关的前扣带活动，表明更大的神经认知敏感性的线索改变习惯性的反应模式。
Political scientists and psychologists have noted that, on average, conservatives show more structured and persistent cognitive styles, whereas liberals are more responsive to informational complexity, ambiguity and novelty. We tested the hypothesis that these profiles relate to differences in general neurocognitive functioning using event-related potentials, and found that greater liberalism was associated with stronger conflict-related anterior cingulate activity, suggesting greater neurocognitive sensitivity to cues for altering a habitual response pattern.
