A1 - Wiwatowska, Ewa A1 - Weymar, Mathias T1 - Brain potentials reveal reduced attention and error-processing during a monetary Go/No-Go task in procrastination JF - Scientific reports N2 - Procrastination is a self-regulatory problem of voluntarily and destructively delaying intended and necessary or personally important tasks. Previous studies showed that procrastination is associated with executive dysfunctions that seem to be particularly strong in punishing contexts. In the present event-related potential (ERP) study a monetary version of the parametric Go/No-Go task was performed by high and low academic procrastinators to verify the influence of motivational context (reward vs. punishment expectation) and task difficulty (easy vs. hard) on procrastination-related executive dysfunctions. The results revealed increased post-error slowing along with reduced P300 and error-related negativity (ERN) amplitudes in high (vs. low) procrastination participants-effects that indicate impaired attention and error-related processing in this group. This pattern of results did not differ as a function of task difficulty and motivation condition. However, when the task got more difficult executive attention deficits became even more apparent at the behavioral level in high procrastinators, as indexed by increased reaction time variability. The findings substantiate prior preliminary evidence that procrastinators show difficulties in certain aspects of executive functioning (in attention and error processing) during execution of task-relevant behavior, which may be more apparent in highly demanding situations.

ED - Würzner, Kay-Michael ED - Pohl, Edmund T1 - Lexical resources in psycholinguistic research N2 - Experimental and quantitative research in the field of human language processing and production strongly depends on the quality of the underlying language material: beside its size, representativeness, variety and balance have been discussed as important factors which influence design, analysis and interpretation of experiments and their results. This volume brings together creators and users of both general purpose and specialized lexical resources which are used in psychology, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics and cognitive research. It aims to be a forum to report experiences and results, review problems and discuss perspectives of any linguistic data used in the field. N2 - Experimentelle und quantitative Forschung im Bereich der menschlichen Sprachverarbeitung und -produktion hängt wesentlich von der Qualität des zugrundeliegenden Sprachmaterials ab: Neben dessen Umfang wurden auch Repräsentativität, Vielfalt und Ausgewogenheit als wichtige Einflüsse auf Design, Analyse und Interpretation entsprechender Experimente und deren Ergebnisse diskutiert. Der vorliegende Band enthält Arbeiten von Entwicklern und Anwendern sowohl allgemeiner als auch spezialisierter lexikalischer Ressourcen aus den Bereichen Psychologie, Psycho-, Neurolinguistik und Kongitionswissenschaften. Ziel ist es anhand der dargestellten Ergebnisse Probleme und Perspektiven bei der Arbeit mit linguistischen Daten aufzuzeigen.
