Abstract

This study investigated the task performance of individuals with primary psychopathic and secondary psychopathic tendencies. The tasks have been known as sensitive to amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) functioning. Group with Psychopathic tendencies(n=23) and control gruop(n=23) were defined by Levenson's self-report psychopathy(LSRP)[Levenson et al., 1995]. In addition, individuals with primary(n=12) and secondary(n=11) psychopathic tendencies were divided by Welsh Anxiety Scale(WAS) [Welsh et al., 1956]. They completed a IOWA gambling task(Bechara et al., 1994) and the intradimensional/extradimensional (ID/ED) shift task, (Dias et al., 1996) which are related to amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) functioning. On the gambling task, all participants with psychopathic tendencies showed a global tendency to choose in a disadvantageous way. Specifically, they showed an impaired learning ability over the course of the task. On the ID/ED task, the number of error in response reversal stages of individuals with primary psychopathic tendencies was not significantly different from a control group, but significant impairments were found in individuals with secondary psychopathic tendencies. In conclusion, individuals with primary psychopathic tendencies show amygdala dysfunction, but individuals with secondary psychopathic tendencies are lack of OFC.
