Event-related potentials and the decision to shoot: The role of threat perception and cognitive control

Article Abstract:

The study measured event related potentials (ERPs) while participants played a simple videogame, deciding whether or not to shoot African American and White targets that were either armed or unarmed. The results highlight the complex psychological processes that govern the decision to shoot and both threat perception and conflict detection play an important role, and crucially, that racial cues promote biased shooting behavior.
