Abstrakt: Male participants were presented with pictures of female faces and asked to evaluate the degree of attractiveness of each image using a questionnaire. Then, the impact of the degree of attractiveness on subsequent event-related potentials was determined using electroencephalography conducted while participants completed a word recognition memory task with the facial images presented as rewards for correct responses. The most attractive faces elicited the largest contingent negative variation potentials and the greatest improvements in performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
