Abstract
The impact of cognitive performance and pre-existing perfectionistic tendencies on activity across the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DL-PFC) during several cognitively challenging tasks was examined. Results indicated that unique patterns of activity across the DL-PFC were associated with either performance or perfectionistic tendencies depending on the controllability of the task.
