OBJECTIVE In a previous article reporting group data, we presented event-related potentials (ERPs), which were evoked by randomly presented target stimuli in a 'learning-oddball' task. These ERPs contained a large N2-P3 complex that decreased and a Contingent Negative Variation (CNV) that increased when the targets were presented in a regular fashion. Using the learning-oddball paradigm, the ai...

Temporal correlates of the brain circuit underlying reward processing in healthy adults remain unclear. The current study investigated the P3 and contingent negative variation (CNV) as putative reward-related temporal markers. The effect of sustained monetary reward on these event-related potentials and on behavior was assessed using a warned reaction-time paradigm in 16 young healthy subjects....

Criticism of contingent valuation (CV) stresses warm glow and free-riding as possible causes for biased willingness to pay figures. We present an empirical framework to study the existence of warm glow and free-riding in hypothetical WTP answers based on a CV survey for the measurement of health-related Red Cross services. Both in conventional double-bounded and spike models we do not find indi...

A previous dual-task study (Capizzi, Sanabria, & Correa, 2012) showed that temporal orienting of attention was disrupted by performing a concurrent working memory task, while sequential effects were preserved. Here, we recorded event related potentials (ERPs) during single- and dual-task performance to investigate how this behavioural dissociation would be expressed in neural activity measures....

Endogenous potentials are evoked responses that occur independent of the stimulus evoking them. They are related to different aspects of information processing. Two types of event related potentials (ERPs) are recorded, the P300 wave and contingent negative variation (CNV). The P300 wave is the most frequently studied factor in various clinical diseases and also for neurological research. Diffe...

The ABC (Activity-Based Costing) method is a special form of functional analysis the costs, providing modern understanding and more accurate description these reflect an organisation’s financial status accurately than traditional accounting methods. Since its introduction at end 80s, researchers all over world have tried to assess degree which companies adopted implemented in various countries,...
