PROJECT SUMMARY In our daily lives, we choose between different courses of action with the hope of achieving desired positive outcomes and avoiding feared negative outcomes; this is complicated by various forms of uncertainty that impact the probability that any given action will result in a particular outcome. Within NIMH’s RDoC framework, studies of the mechanisms involved in reward-based action valuation and choice have informed constructs listed under the Positive Valence Systems (PVS) domain. Associated paradigms examine how differences in outcome probability (first order uncertainty) and action-outcome contingency uncertainty (second order uncertainty) impact choice between alternate…
