Document Summary
The role of asymmetrical frontal cortical activity in aggression. Examining interrelations between aggression and frontal asymmetry = correlational (difficult to deem causational: however, rtms-induced left frontal activation causes increased attention and memory to angry faces. Basic approach motivational movements are accomplished more often/efficiently via the right hand/right side of the body: relatively close connections between left mc and left dlpfc = assists in efficient execution of approach motivational processes and behaviours. On the role of asymmetric frontal cortical activity in approach and withdrawal motivation: an updated. Is asymmetric frontal cortical activity related to affective valence (positive vs. negative effect) or. Motivational direction where the individual is motivated to go: motivated to approach or withdraw/avoid from something. Individuals with greater relative right frontal activity = greater negative affect responses to negative emotion-inducing films: lesser positive affective responses to positive emotion-inducing films. Negative affective situations likely evoke withdrawal motivation & positive affective situations likely evoke approach motivation.
