Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
We will use one main outcome measure per task as a formal primary endpoint. As a primary study endpoint for the Grip Strength task we will compare the percentage of hard task choices at different reward levels in the Grip Strength Task, which will be compared at a group level between MDD vs. matched healthy controls, SZ vs. matched healthy controls, and MDD vs SZ. For the Reinforcement Learning/Working Memory task, we will compare the number of optimal choices per set size condition (2-5) between these groups, and for the Doors task, percentage of trials on which a participant choose the other door after experiencing a loss (*lose-shifting*). The test-retest reliability of these outcome measures will be investigated.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- We will compare group-level (control, MDD, SZ) means and distributions (standard deviations) of our primary endpoints with previously published work. - Per task, we will compare event-related potential (ERPs, obtained from the EEG data) between the three groups - Relationships between primary task endpoints, EEG endpoints and symptom severity (SHAPS sum scores) will be investigated using correlational analyses - the intraclass correlation coefficient for all outcome measures mentioned under point 1 and 2 will be investigated.
