Aberrant insula activity to negative and reduced learning from positive prediction errors as mechanisms underlying maladaptive self-belief formation in depression

Updated preprint by Nora Czekalla et al. Abstract Maladaptive self-beliefs are a core symptom of major depressive disorder. These beliefs are perpetuated by a negatively biased integration of self-related feedback. Understanding the neurocomputational mechanisms of biased belief updating may help to counteract maladaptive beliefs and the maintenance of depression. The present study uses […]

Neurocomputational mechanisms of affected beliefs

Science / Sören Krach

Abstract The feedback people receive on their behavior shapes the process of belief formation and self-efficacy in mastering a given task. The neural and computational mechanisms of how the subjective value of these beliefs and corresponding affect bias the learning process are yet unclear. Here we investigate this question during learning of self-efficacy beliefs using

Neurocomputational mechanisms of affected beliefs

2021, Social Emotions / Sören Krach

We are truely excited about our new preprint on #affectedbeliefs! What are affected beliefs? Beliefs are never neutral – they always depend on the context, on the learning experience, on motivations etc. Here we present an attempt of an empirical spell-out of the “value of beliefs” model published by Bromberg-Martín & Sharot in 2020 and
