Neural mechanisms underlying paradoxical performance for monetary incentives are driven by loss aversion.

We found a highly significant ( r = 0.53; p = 0.002) relationship between increasing behavioral loss aversion and the proclivity to show performance decrements in the hard difficulty level ( Figure 5 B), but not in the easy difficulty level ( r = 0.22; p = 0.23).
