1. What did Blanco et al (2012) find in their study?

  • Depression was an important predictor of judgement of control, even after controlling for response rates
  • Even when asked to respond at a particular rate, the best predictor of judgement of control was depression score (BDI)
  • Response rates mediated the effects of depression on judgement of control
  • Depressed participants could not change their responses when asked to respond at a specific rate, due to habit learning

  • During the intertrial interval no learning can happen
  • the interntial interval is irrelevant
  • The intertrial interval is similar to lots of ‘no action, no outcome’ trials
  • During the intertrial interval participants consolidate their learning

3. Which of these summarises the data?

  • Escitalopram increased rates of responding which increased the perceived control by the action
  • Escitalopram reduced rates of responding which decreased the perceived control by the action
  • Escitalopram reduced rates of responding which increased the perceived control by the action
  • Escilatopram increased rates of responding which decreased the perceived control by the action

4. What was the effect of BDI?

  • Low BDI participcants rated the action as less causal
  • Low BDI participants rated context as less causal
  • High BDI participants rated the action as less causal
  • High BDI participants rated context as less causal

5. In experiment 4, what was found?

  • Long delay produced less context learning in high BDI participants
  • Long delay produced less context learning in low BDI participants
  • Long delay produced more context learning in high BDI participants
  • Long delay produced more context learning in low BDI participants
