Objectifs
Objective 1: Uncovering the mechanisms of effort allocation in schizophrenia in the context of dynamical effort allocation.
Objective 2: Characterising the relationship with negative symptoms as measured by standardized symptom scales.
Résumé
Negative symptoms (i.e.; amotivation, social withdrawal, alogia, and flat affect) are a part of schizophrenia and are responsible for a significant part of the functional impairment in patients. There exists no treatment to alleviate these symptoms partly because their cognitive mechanisms are not well understood. Effort-cost decision-making paradigms have been developed in order to understand the mechanisms behind amotivation. Here, we used an effort-cost decision-making task to explore the computational mechanisms of amotivation through studying dynamical effort allocation. The goal was to study online adaptation to effort to understand the cognitive mechanisms behind effort initiation and re-initiation.
Méthodes
The present study uses a grip-strength effort-cost decision-making computerized task to understand the determinants behind effort interruption/resumption in a group of schizophrenia individuals and a group of controls. The task consists of 30s trials in series with varying levels of difficulty (3 levels) and incentive (3 levels).
