Motivation effects in a dichotic listening task as evident from functional magnetic resonance imaging in human subjects
The present study addresses the effect of motivation on cerebral activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Five healthy volunteers performed a dichotic listening task in two sets of three trials during which high or low levels of achievement motivation were introduced. They were told tha...

The present study addresses the effect of motivation on cerebral activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Five healthy volunteers performed a dichotic listening task in two sets of three trials during which high or low levels of achievement motivation were introduced. They were told that the first set would be used for calculation of intellectual capacity (high achievement motivation) and the second set for scanner calibration (neutral motivation). In three volunteers, high compared with neutral motivation produced activation in the right prefrontal cortex and the dorsal cingulate. We conclude that motivational effects may lead to significant activations and should be controlled in future cognitive imaging studies. We present preliminary evidence that right prefrontal and dorsal cingulate regions might be involved in motivational processes. |
