A corrigendum on
Hypernatural Monitoring: A Social Rehearsal Account of Smartphone Addiction

by Veissière, S. P., and Stendel, M. (2018). Front. Psychol. 9:141. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00141

In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 2 as published. The “reward” box in the upper right-hand corner of Panel C erroneously displayed a “1” instead of a “0”. The word “reward” below the “t2” frame in Panel C should have read “no reward.”

FIGURE 2
www.frontiersin.org

Figure 2. Cue-activated reward anticipation and prediction errors and subsequent dopaminergic activity (adapted from Keiflin and Janak, 2015). (A) Before the cue is conditioned, the unexpected reward results in phasic activation of dopamine neurons and a positive reward prediction error. (B) Once a reward is conditioned, the cue (and not the reward) results in a positive reward anticipation and increased dopamine activity. (C) When the cue occurs but is met without the expected award, the result is a negative prediction error and a reduction of dopamine activity below baseline.

The corrected Figure 2 appears below. The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.

The original article has been updated.

Conflict of Interest Statement
