The Violation-of-Expectation Paradigm: A Conceptual Overview
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]
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.

Predicting smokers' non-compliance with smoking restrictions in public places [PDF]
Objective: The present study aimed to identify the predictors of non-compliance with smoking restrictions among Greek college student smokers. Differences in attitudes to smoking bans and tobacco control policies between current smokers and non-smokers ...

Expectancy Violation Exposes the Hidden Victims of Sexual Harassment
Using expectancy violation theory as a framework, it was proposed that men and less attractive male and female targets violate the schema people hold regarding workplace sexual harassment, resulting in them being perceived as experiencing less severe ...

When the outcome is different than expected : subjective expectancy shapes reward prediction error at the FRN level [PDF]
Converging evidence in human electrophysiology suggests that evaluative feedback provided during performance monitoring (PM) elicits two distinctive and successive ERP components: the feedback-related negativity (FRN) and the P3b.

Expectancy violations promote learning in young children [PDF]
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.

Cognitive load does not affect the behavioral and cognitive foundations of social cooperation
The present study serves to test whether the cognitive mechanisms underlying social cooperation are affected by cognitive load. Participants interacted with trustworthy-looking and untrustworthy-looking partners in a sequential Prisoner’s Dilemma Game ...

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 ...

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]
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.

Expectation violations produce error signals in mouse V1 [PDF]
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 ...
