Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to establish the dose-response curve for therapeutic doses of d-amphetamine on tasks of motivation and reward learning in the same participants and to use d-amphetamine as a dopaminergic probe to test newer theories about the role of dopamine in reward-related decision-making.

Primary Outcome

A measure of effort-based decision-making in humans, the Effort Expenditure for Reward Task (EEfRT), will be used. The EEfRT requires participants to choose between a low-effort, low reward task vs a high-effort, high reward task. Willingness to exert effort, or reward motivation, is measured by taking the average number of hard task choices from the first 50 trials.
