27 June 2022, by Celestina Hermida da Costa
Vandendriessche et al. published the article “Contextual influence of reinforcement learning performance of depression: evidence for a negativity bias?” in Psychological Medicine with Sophie Bavard as one of the authors. The article is about the impairment of value-based decision-making in depression. While some studies have found evidence of blunted reward learning and reward-related signals in the brain, other studies indicate no effect. In this study, it is tested whether such reward sensitivity deficits depend on the total value of the decision problem.
