...=58) on the reinforcement schedule on cued trials induced more switching or repeating on unrewarded free-choice trials. We speculate that people adapt their control strategies if they are aware of the respective benefits, even when they cease to be rewarded. Interestingly, choices were predominantly...

...Zhang Chen; Christina B. Reimer; Frederick Verbruggen Both humans and some non-human animals tend to respond more vigorously after failing to obtain rewards. Such response invigoration becomes more pronounced when individuals have increased expectations of obtaining rewards during reward pursuit...

... relates to differential (neural) effects of sustained and transient reward manipulations ( Beck, Locke, Savine, Jimura, & Braver, 2010 ; Engelmann, Damaraju, Padmala, & Pessoa, 2009 ). Taken together, the inconsistencies in design and results across previous studies on incentive valence-action...

...Alice Mason; Amy Lorimer; Simon Farrell; Rolf Zwaan; Christopher Madan In this paper, we draw connections between reward processing and cognition by behaviourally testing the implications of neurobiological theories of reward processing on memory. Single-cell neurophysiology in non-human primates...

...Dorottya Rusz; Erik Bijleveld; Michiel A. J. Kompier; Rolf Zwaan; Christopher Madan Over a hundred prior studies show that reward-related distractors capture attention. It is less clear, however, whether and when reward-related distractors affect performance on tasks that require cognitive control...

...Christopher R. Madan; Rolf Zwaan; Christopher Madan A growing body of literature has demonstrated that motivation influences cognitive processing. The breadth of these effects is extensive and span influences of reward, emotion, and other motivational processes across all cognitive domains...
