• An opportunity cost model of subjective effort and task performance (2013, unknown): “…the anterior cingulate is well positioned to compute the overall costs of task performance, because it responds to diverse kinds of costs, ranging from physical pain (Botvinick et al. 2005; Singer et al. 2004) to decrements in reward (Bush et al. 2002) to social disapproval (Klucharev et al. 2009).”
• Behavioral and neural properties of social reinforcement learning (2011, background): “Recently, Harris and Fiske (2010) showed sensitivity in this region to violations in expectations about personality trait information, and others have shown that the striatum is sensitive to violations of social group norms (Klucharev et al., 2009) as well as forming predictions Figure 3.”
• Neural Correlates of Susceptibility to Group Opinions in Online Word-of-Mouth Recommendations (2015, background): “…influence on individual opinions and behaviors (Berns et al. 2005, 2010; Campbell-Meiklejohn et al. 2010; Chein et al. 2011; Falk et al. 2010; Klucharev et al. 2009; Mason, Dyer, and Norton 2009; McClure et al. 2004; Stallen, Smidts, and Sanfey 2013; Zaki, Schirmer, and Mitchell 2011; for…”
• The role of prediction in social neuroscience (2012, background): “Klucharev et al. (2009) also confirmed this with activity seen in the ACC and supplementary motor area when there is conflict with a social norm.”
• The neuroscience of social decision-making. (2011, unknown): “This human sensitivity to social approval is underscored by the finding that a conflict with group opinion triggers a prediction error signal within putative reinforcement learning circuitry (Klucharev et al. 2009).”
• Great expectations: neural computations underlying the use of social norms in decision-making. (2011, background): “, 2010), may be leveraged to calculate conflict between individual preferences and social norms (Klucharev et al., 2009) and thereby bias decision-making.”
• Social Influences on Eating (2016, unknown): “Conforming to a group norm is a rewarding experience [33] and eating with someone else amplifies the hedonic aspects of the experience [34 ].”
