Due to the relationship we observed between normative goals, task difficulty expectations, and the magnitude of the striatal response to positive and negative feedback, we suggest that striatal feedback responses are influenced by the affective salience of the feedback.
A final difficulty for normative competence accounts is the charge that they conflate autonomy with moral responsibility.
Even if this seems a plausible normative frame, there remain difficulties in detail for both conceptual ethical theory and psychiatric practice.
(MoH; 132) Sabatier and Weible (2007) point out the inherent difficulty in changing normative beliefs of policy actors, and that divergent beliefs between policy coalitions can lead to extended gridlock and conflict between groups, and yet increasing density of ties within groups.
Furthermore, they found that 9 months after the end of treatment until the end of the study, survivors had clinically more financial difficulties than the normative sample.
Some potential but not insurmountable drawbacks of wiki-governance have been noted elsewhere (for example, scaling and capital investment difficulties, the so-called digital divide, difficulties associated with drafting normative rather than factual policies) [ 53].
This effect is most likely higher in the case of a relatively simple task: Although task difficulty does not influence normative group pressure, the informational relevance of the majority opinion is less relevant if subjects are more certain about their individual decisions [21], [22], especially if the task is considered relevant [23].
Our findings suggest that normative goals may enhance performance when difficulty expectations are high, while at the same time modulating the subjective value of feedback as processed in the striatum.
Norm: population based normative values.
The commentary, sometimes referred to as kuntros (literally, "notebook"), resembles a living tutor; it explains the text in its entirety, guides the student in methodological and substantive matters, resolves linguistic difficulties, and indicates the normative conclusions of the discussion.
