“…As for the link between depression and lack of initiative, it could be due to the presence of 3 items related to pleasure (eg, ''I am looking forward to doing particular things''). In fact, pleasure is partly underlain by anticipatory mechanisms (capacity to feel pleasure in future situations 36 ), which seem to support initiative. 37 We suggest that a deficit in anticipatory pleasure may explain a decline in initiative, because of the lack of sensitivity to reward and the inability to project oneself into future pleasant situations.…”

Apathy, defined as a reduction in voluntary goal-directed behaviors, is one of the most common behavioral symptoms encountered in Alzheimer disease (AD). However, the processes underlying the different components of apathy are still unclear. The aim of this study was to explore a particularly important aspect of executive function in daily life: multitasking [assessed with the Modified Six Elements Task (MSET)], and its relationship with apathy in AD. Sixty-seven participants (37 AD patients matched with 30 control participants) were screened using the MSET. Simultaneously, a close relative of each patient was given the Apathy Inventory, which assesses 3 distinct dimensions of apathy (lack of initiative, lack of interest, and emotional blunting). AD patients presented significantly more multitasking deficits than control participants. In addition, regression analyses revealed that the number of rule breaks on the MSET (inability to perform several tasks in a predefined time observing a number of rules) was the best predictor of apathy, and especially of lack of initiative. These results suggest that the relation between lack of initiative and multitasking has a specific character and that mechanisms underlying multitasking constitute a key component of goal-directed behaviors.

“…The wealth of empirical studies strongly suggest that individuals with clinical and subclinical depression are impaired in their response to rewards both during the anticipatory (i.e., motivational) phase and during the consummatory (i.e., emotional) phase (for a detailed discussion about the distinction between these two phases, see Berridge and Robinson, 2003;Gard et al, 2006). Specifically, depressed individuals report less anticipated pleasure (e.g., Chentsova-Dutton and Hanley, 2010), show impaired reward-learning behavior (e.g., Huys et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2011;Vrieze et al, 2013), demonstrate impaired reward-related decision making (e.g., Kunisato et al, 2012;Treadway et al, 2012), have reduced activity in approach-related cortical regions (e.g., Shankman et al, 2013; for a review see Thibodeau et al, 2006), and show altered activity in reward-related brain regions (for a review see Zhang et al, 2013).…”

“…After having obtained informed consent, the experimenter attached the physiological recordings material as described below, started the experimental software, left the room, and monitored the experiment from an outside control room. Participants first completed the CES-D, followed by the Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale (TEPS; Gard et al, 2006), which served for the cover story and was not analyzed for the present study aim.…”

Blunted cardiovascular reactivity during social reward anticipation in subclinical depression

The present study extends past research about reduced reward responsiveness in depression by assessing effort-related cardiovascular responses during anticipation of a social reward. Dysphoric (i.e., subclinically depressed) and nondysphoric participants worked on a cognitive task. Half the participants in each group expected the possibility to subscribe to a social exchange internet site. Effort mobilization during task performance was assessed by participants' cardiovascular reactivity. Confirming the predictions, nondysphoric participants in the social-reward condition had higher reactivity of pre-ejection period, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate, compared to the other three cells. In contrast, dysphoric participants' cardiovascular reactivity was generally low. These findings indicate that social-reward function is indeed impaired in subclinical depression. Implications for social punishment are discussed.

“…Firstly, the anticipatory component-or reward wanting-corresponds to the motivation to obtain a reward. Secondly, the consummatory component-or reward liking-is defined as the affective responses to reward (Berridge & Kringelbach, 2008;Berridge & Robinson, 2003;Gard, Gard, Kring, & John, 2006). In contrast, punishment processing has not been investigated in the same detail as reward.…”

Wanting and liking in dysphoria: Cardiovascular and facial EMG responses during incentive processing

Theories and research on depression point to reduced responsiveness during reward anticipation and in part also during punishment anticipation. They also suggest weaker affective responses to reward consumption and unchanged affective responses to punishment consumption. However, studies investigating incentive anticipation using effort mobilization and incentive consumption using facial expressions are scarce. The present studies tested reward and punishment responsiveness in a subclinically depressed sample, manipulating a monetary reward (Study 1) and a monetary punishment (Study 2). Effort mobilization was operationalized as cardiovascular reactivity, while facial expressions were measured by facial electromyographic reactivity. Compared to nondysphorics, dysphorics showed reduced preejection period (PEP) reactivity and blunted self-reported wanting during reward anticipation but reduced PEP reactivity and normal self-reported wanting during punishment anticipation.Compared to nondysphorics, dysphorics showed reduced zygomaticus major muscle reactivity and blunted self-reported liking during reward consumption but normal corrugator supercilii muscle reactivity and normal self-reported disliking during punishment consumption.
