The scheme of the Monetary Valence Delay task.

Each trial started with the presentation of a cue (circle/square), indicating the amount of money at stake (win or lose). The line inside the cue reflected the amount of money (no line =¥0, one line = ¥0.50 and three lines = ¥5.00). Following a pseudo-random delay (2000–2500 ms) in the anticipatory phase (before making a response), participants were required to respond to the target (a white solid square) by pressing the button as fast as possible using the right index finger. After a pseudo-random delay (1500–2500 ms) (anticipatory phase after making the response), a feedback (consummatory phase) was given to notify the participants about the amount of money they had won or lost as well as their cumulative balance.
