6. What was the effect of SSRIs on contingency judgement?
- SSRIs reduced participants response rate, thus impacting on their context-action discrimination
- SSRIs moderated the direct relationship between BDI and learning the context-action discrimination
- SSRIs increased the rate of response, which increased the context-action discrimination
- SSRIs made the outcome more valuable, and so increased the context-action discrimination
7. What was the effect of BDI?
- Low BDI participants rated context as less causal
- High BDI participants rated context as less causal
- High BDI participants rated the action as less causal
- Low BDI participcants rated the action as less causal
8. what is contingency
- The predictiveness of a CS or an action
- The effect of making an action
- The amount of conditioning that can be done to a CS
- The rate of responding during a CS divided by the rate of responding during the CS and intertrial interval
9. The intertrial interval hypothesis suggests that:
- The intertrial interval is similar to lots of ‘no action, no outcome’ trials
- the interntial interval is irrelevant
- During the intertrial interval participants consolidate their learning
- During the intertrial interval no learning can happen
10. What are the conclusions of this paper? (Msetfi, Wade & Murphy (2013))
- Contingency acts as a form of prior knowledge
- Perceived time is faster in depressed people
- Contextual learning is different in causal learning in mildly depressed people
- The findings are not consistent with an associative learning model
11. Msetfi, Murphy, Simpson & Kornbrot (2005) found what in their study?
- ITI length had no impact on judgements of control in non depressed participants
- ITI length was an important determinator of judgement of control in depressed participants
- A short ITI eliminated differences in judgements of control between depressed and non depressed participants
- A long ITI eliminated differences in judgements of control between depressed and non depressed participants
12. Who were the participants in experiment 1? (Msetfi, Wade & Murphy (2013))
- students
- people with mild dysphoria
- normal population
- people with clinical depression
13. When Alloy & Abramson looked at ΔP = 0, what effects did they find?
- Depressed students though they had more control when the outcome density was higher
- Non depressed students though they had more control when the outcome density was higher
- Depressed students though they had less control when the outcome density was higher
- Non depressed students though they had less control when the outcome density was higher
14. In the Rescorla-Wagner model, what does V represent?
- associative strength
- total expectancy of US on a trial
- Salience of the US
- change in associative strength on a trial
15. What was the effect of escitlopram on ratings of control? Msetfi et al, 2016
- Greater sensitivity to background rates for the outcomes
- Less sensitivity to background rates for the outcomes
- Greater sensitivity to contingency
- Less sensitivity to contingency
