Critically, because behavior was characterized via the detection sensitivity measure d′, the results revealed a “specific” effect of motivation on behavioral performance, instead of more unspecific influences such as arousal (e.g., purely faster response times) or response bias (e.g., more conservative responses) – but see below for further discussion on more general effects that may be, at least in part, linked to arousal. The same basic pattern of behavioral results was observed in three distinct versions of the task that varied in difficulty level, the type of target and distracter stimuli, and cue types (endogenous vs exogenous).","tracks":[]}
