The Violation-of-Expectation Paradigm: A Conceptual Overview

open access: yesPsychological Review, 2022
For over 35 years, the violation-of-expectation paradigm has been used to study the development of expectations in the first three years of life. A wide range of expectations has been examined, including physical, psychological, sociomoral, biological, numerical, statistical, probabilistic, and linguistic expectations.

Brain mechanisms supporting violated expectations of pain [PDF]

open access: yesPain, 2015
The subjective experience of pain is influenced by interactions between experiences, future predictions, and incoming afferent information. Expectations of high pain can exacerbate pain, whereas expectations of low pain during a consistently noxious stimulus can produce significant reductions in pain.

Expectancy violations promote learning in young children [PDF]

open access: yesCognition, 2017
Children, including infants, have expectations about the world around them, and produce reliable responses when these expectations are violated. However, little is known about how such expectancy violations affect subsequent cognition. Here we tested the hypothesis that violations of expectation enhance children's learning.

Neural correlates of valence-dependent belief and value updating during uncertainty reduction: An fNIRS study

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2023
Selective use of new information is crucial for adaptive decision-making. Combining a gamble bidding task with assessing cortical responses using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), we investigated potential effects of information valence on ...

Listening to limericks: a pupillometry investigation of perceivers’ expectancy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
What features of a poem make it captivating, and which cognitive mechanisms are sensitive to these features? We addressed these questions experimentally by measuring pupillary responses of 40 participants who listened to a series of Limericks.

Expectation violations produce error signals in mouse V1 [PDF]

open access: yesCerebral Cortex, 2022
Abstract Repeated exposure to visual sequences changes the form of evoked activity in the primary visual cortex (V1). Predictive coding theory provides a potential explanation for this, namely that plasticity shapes cortical circuits to encode spatiotemporal predictions and that subsequent responses are modulated by the degree to ...

The role of stimulus-driven versus goal-directed processes in fight and flight tendencies measured with motor evoked potentials induced by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This study examines two contrasting explanations for early tendencies to fight and flee. According to a stimulus-driven explanation, goal-incompatible stimuli that are easy/difficult to control lead to the tendency to fight/flee.
