Stephenson-Jones, M. et al. A basal ganglia circuit for evaluating action outcomes.
Successful performance monitoring (PM) requires continuous assessment of context and action outcomes.
Prediction errors (PEs) encode the difference between expected and actual action outcomes in the brain via dopaminergic modulation.
Specifically, action outcomes can be ambiguous1, delayed, occur only after a sequence of subsequent decisions2, or might never occur at all3,4.
Numerous publications document action outcomes as well, and offer strategies for linking research findings with management and decision making in different contexts.
Finally, the action outcomes will be compiled in a specific exploitation plan, based on the dialogue between the industry, policy and research community on the scheduled workshops.
Inbound inspection, audit, CAPA (Corrective Action/Preventative Action), NC/ CA (Non-Conformance/Corrective Action), outcomes of Six Sigma quality analysis, and many other forms of data rarely get outside of manufacturing and across the broader value chain of a manufacturer.
They conclude that requirements for effort-intensive cognitive control are anticipated during the selection of specific actions and thus, that action selection is guided by the anticipation of action outcomes.
The study also found that Indigenous, black, Middle Eastern, and "other" racialized minorities saw a disproportionately high rate of "final (no action)" outcomes for traffic stops.
In those studies, action outcomes were differentiated according to their outcome level (from immediate to final).
In contrast, PMd would process spatial stimulus properties and desired action outcomes.
