Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of methylphenidate, a mixed dopaminergic and noradrenergic agent, onto the different components of motivation: decision-making, effort allocation and instrumental learning.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
coefficient of sensitivity to reward
Time Frame: two hours after administration
Parameter characterizing the influence of reward expectation/experience onto behavior for each individual. This parameter is estimated through the fit of computational models to behaviors recorded in a battery of motivational tasks (choice task, effort task, Learning task).
Secondary Outcomes
- coefficient of sensitivity to effort(two hours after administration)
- coefficient of sensitivity to punishment(two hours after administration)
- coefficient of sensitivity to delay(two hours after administration)
