Roles of medial prefrontal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex in self-evaluation
Open accessAbstract
Empirical investigations of the relation of frontal lobe function to self-evaluation have mostly examined the evaluation of abstract qualities in relation to self versus other people. The present research furthers our understanding of frontal lobe involvement in self-evaluation by examining two processes that have not been widely studied by neuroscientists: on-line self-evaluations and correction of systematic judgment errors that influence self-evaluation. Although people evaluate their abstract qualities, it is equally important that perform on-line evaluations to assess the success of their behavior in a particular situation. In addition, self-evaluations of task performance are sometimes overconfident because of systematic judgment errors. What role do the neural regions associated with abstract self-evaluations and decision bias play in on-line evaluation and self-evaluation bias? In this fMRI study, self-evaluation in two reasoning tasks was examined; one elicited overconfident self-evaluations of performance because of salient but misleading aspects of the task and the other was free from misleading aspects. Medial PFC (mPFC), a region associated with self-referential processing, was generally involved in on-line self-evaluations but not specific to accurate or overconfident evaluation. Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) activity, a region associated with accurate nonsocial judgment, negatively predicted individual differences in overconfidence and was negatively associated with confidence level for incorrect trials.

Self-trait judgments are particularly associated with greater activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC).
“with self-trait judgments being particularly associated with greater activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) [Beer et al., 2010;Kelley et al., 2002;Kim and Johnson, 2014].”

The mPFC is engaged more when participants process information about themselves, as opposed to others, in terms of personality traits, mental states, or physical characteristics.
“Thus the mPFC is engaged more when participants process information about themselves, as opposed to others, in terms of personality traits, mental states, or physical characteristics and when they access autobiographical knowledge [Amodio and Frith, 2006;Beer et al., 2010;Blair et al., 2008;Cikara et al., 2014].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
