Effects of exogenous oxytocin administration on non-social executive function in humans: A preregistered systematic review and meta-analysis protocol

Oxytocin has received considerable research attention for its role in social cognition and behavior. However, there is emerging evidence that oxytocin may operate in a more domain-general way by also moderating non-social cognition in both animals and humans. This protocol describes a planned systematic review and meta-analysis that will investigate if oxytocin facilitates executive function outside social contexts and which factors may moderate this effect.
