Effects of cognitive control over social-emotional action tendencies. A, Schematic representation of the AA task used to measure control over social-emotional action tendencies. The incongruent condition requires control to override the automatic tendencies to approach happy, and avoid angry, faces. B, Behavioral effects on AA task; participants show longer reaction times and more errors during the incongruent condition, illustrating the cost of exerting control. Asterisx depicts p < 0.01. C, Main task effects for incongruent > congruent, masked to show above-threshold (cluster level p < 0.001) activation in the anterior PFC (frontal pole mask; Harvard-Oxford Atlas; Desikan et al., 2006). D, Correlation between reaction time congruency and BOLD congruency effects extracted from the FPl across participants.
