Understanding all inconsistency compensation as a palliative response to violated expectations.
TLDR
This work has shown that, when people have experiences that are inconsistent with their expectations, they engage in a variety of compensatory efforts, which manifest as the analogous compensation behaviors reported within different psychological literatures.About:

Whatever next? Predictive brains, situated agents, and the future of cognitive science
TL;DR: This target article critically examines this "hierarchical prediction machine" approach, concluding that it offers the best clue yet to the shape of a unified science of mind and action.

What Is Ego Depletion? Toward a Mechanistic Revision of the Resource Model of Self-Control
TL;DR: Though the process model of depletion may sacrifice the elegance of the resource metaphor, it paints a more precise picture of ego depletion and suggests several nuanced predictions for future research.

Cybernetic Big Five Theory.
TL;DR: In this paper, the Cybernetic Big Five Theory attempts to provide a comprehensive, synthetic, and mechanistic explanatory model for personality traits, reflecting variation in the parameters of evolved cybernetic mechanisms and characteristic adaptations, representing goals, interpretations, and strategies defined in relation to an individual's particular life circumstances.

TL;DR: It is argued that deficits in executive functioning, theory of mind, and central coherence can all be understood as the consequence of a core deficit in the flexibility with which people with autism spectrum disorder can process violations to their expectations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in negativity bias underlie variations in political ideology.
TL;DR: This article argues that one organizing element of the many differences between liberals and conservatives is the nature of their physiological and psychological responses to features of the environment that are negative, and suggests approaches for refining understanding of the broad relationship between political views and response to the negative.

Conflict monitoring and cognitive control.
TL;DR: Two computational modeling studies are reported, serving to articulate the conflict monitoring hypothesis and examine its implications, including a feedback loop connecting conflict monitoring to cognitive control, and a number of important behavioral phenomena.

Cognitive and emotional influences in anterior cingulate cortex
TL;DR: Various findings are reviewed in relation to the idea that ACC is a part of a circuit involved in a form of attention that serves to regulate both cognitive and emotional processing, and how the success of this regulation in controlling responses might be correlated with cingulate size.

The neural basis of human error processing: Reinforcement learning, dopamine, and the error-related negativity.
TL;DR: This paper presented a unified account of two neural systems concerned with the development and expression of adaptive behaviors: a mesencephalic dopamine system for reinforcement learning and a generic error-processing system associated with the anterior cingulate cortex.

Conflict monitoring and anterior cingulate cortex: an update
TL;DR: Recent research has begun to shed light on the larger function of the ACC, suggesting some new possibilities concerning how conflict monitoring might fit into the cingulate's overall role in cognition and action.

TL;DR: Results confirm that this region shows activity during erroneous responses, but activity was also observed in the same region during correct responses under conditions of increased response competition, which suggests that the ACC detects conditions under which errors are likely to occur rather than errors themselves.
