Enhanced proactive control under stress: divergent neural dynamics of social vs. Monetary rewards in table tennis athletes
Monetary and social rewards recruit distinct neurocognitive pathways to enhance athletes' proactive control under stress: monetary rewards prioritize early attentional engagement, whereas social rewards optimize sustained cognitive resource allocation via intrinsic motivation. These findings unveil the electrophysiological basis of reward-contingent stress resilience, advancing dual-mechanism models of cognitive control.
