reward control trials. Additionally, SCR will decrease
over trials.
3. Compared to baseline corrugator EMG, corrugator EMG
(CEMG) will be elevated during shock anticipation and
will remain relatively unchanged during prize and
control trials.
4. Compared to baseline zygomatic EMG. zygomatic EMG (ZEMG)
will increase during prize anticipation. Additionally,
a smaller increase may be revealed during shock
anticipation. Also, ZEMG will not change from baseline
during control trials.
Focal Lesion Patients (RHP and LHP)
Predictions for the RHD and LHD patients differ
depending on the global right hemisphere emotion model
versus the bivalent model. Specific predictions for the
right hemisphere emotion model will be first presented and
then followed by those from the bivalent model.
A) Global Right Hemisphere Emotion Model: According to this
view, patients with right hemisphere damage are relatively
blunted in their emotional responsivity and experience of
emotion. Thus, RHD patients will experience less anxiety
and positive feelings during the shock and prize conditions,
respectively, relative to the NHD and LHD subjects. In
contrast, LHD patients may experience more intense emotional
responsivity than NHD subjects. Specific predictions are as
follows:
