Group Characteristics: Effort and Reward Learning Data from Sulpiride Study

43 healthy young adults participated in a double-blind study comparing high-dose sulpiride to placebo. Participants completed a novel two-armed bandit task weighing effort costs against expected rewards, with learning accuracy lower on sulpiride. Computational modeling revealed sulpiride impaired the capacity of effort to modulate learning rates.

Use Cases

• Modeling dopamine's causal effect on effort-reward trade-offs based on the sulpiride vs. placebo comparison
• Analyzing learning accuracy modulation by effort costs based on the two-armed bandit task results
• Testing computational models of reinforcement learning based on the study's modeling framework
• Investigating pharmacological interventions on motivation and learning based on the D2-receptor antagonist administration

Strengths

• Data originates from a controlled double-blind study with 43 participants
• Includes computational modeling results comparing sulpiride and placebo effects
• Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for open reuse

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data scale is limited to 5.5 KB, indicating a small, focused dataset
