This study examines how metacognitive experiences like boredom and frustration evolve over time during a task and relate to cognitive processes that optimize performance.

The paper investigates how reward and difficulty cues are evaluated before and after task experience, finding that reward cues are positively evaluated even before task experience, influencing performance.

This study uses fMRI and multivariate pattern analysis to show that the ventral pre-supplementary motor area responds similarly to conflict and affect tasks, challenging the idea that these processes are independent.
