Abstract

The article focuses on a cognitive training program designed to enhance reward responsiveness and its effects on affective processing in individuals with depression and anxiety. Fifty participants with low hedonic tone and clinical levels of depression and/or anxiety completed an affective go/no-go (AGN) task before and after undergoing a multi-arm bandit (MAB) reward learning training, which varied in reward rate variance (high vs. low). Results showed that high-variance MAB training improved accuracy, particularly in blocks with negative emotional targets, and reduced response times across all target types. The findings suggest that targeting reward sensitivity through cognitive training may enhance emotional processing efficiency in patients with mood disorders.
