Figure 5. In the rule-finding task, the right frontopolar cortex (A) showed greater neural activity during positive feedback than during negative feedback (corrected p<.046).

BOLD signal changes in the frontopolar cortex were examined (B). BOLD signal changes when receiving the first to third, fourth to sixth, seventh to ninth, and tenth to twelfth instances of negative feedback were examined separately (C). Note. MG: mastery-oriented participants, PG: performance-approach-oriented participants, Po: positive feedback, Ne: negative feedback.
