The subject's own name (SON) is preferentially processed in the right hemisphere, mainly because of its self-relevance and emotional content, together with other personally relevant information such as the voice of a familiar person.
Self-relevance varies based on different source credibility perceptions.
Our results suggest new cognitive interventions to improve the self-relevance of positive memories in depression.
To counteract such potential effects, we explore the moderating role of avatar self-relevance in avatar-induced stereotype threat effects.
These findings extend our understanding of avatar use effects, especially as they relate to avatar self-relevance, avatar customization, avatar embodiment, and stereotype threat, thereby providing insights into the ways that digital games can be designed to maximize positive outcomes for players in a variety of meaningful contexts.
Porn can also be a really helpful vessel for people to find comfort or seek self-relevance, instructional guidance or a sense of affirmed identity, specifically for those who fall outside of the heteronormative population, which, the Porn Diet organizers admit is the population that the sweeping majority of public research is based on.
Hence, consistent responses of these areas point to the self-relevance of the OPD condition.
Dorsal and ventral regions of the mPFC (Figure 3) have been proposed to subserve different top-down systems in self-relevance appraisal [31], [32].
The ventral system is postulated to mediate the "identification and appraisal of stimulus-induced self-relevance", which fits with current findings in the ventral/amPFC regions [31].
The smaller decrease in activity for belief compared to disbelief could reflect the greater self-relevance and/or reward value of true statements.
