Dopamine and the cognitive downside of a promised bonus
Psychological science, 2014•journals.sagepub.com
It is often assumed that the promise of a monetary bonus improves cognitive control. We
show that in fact appetitive motivation can also impair cognitive control, depending on
baseline levels of dopamine-synthesis capacity in the striatum. These data not only
demonstrate that appetitive motivation can have paradoxical detrimental effects for cognitive
control but also provide a mechanistic account of these effects.
