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)
