Set-shifting and sensitivity to reward: A possible dopamine mechanism for explaining disinhibitory disorders
The objective of this study was to investigate personality correlates of set-shifting behaviour using a task sensitive to dopaminergic activity. As expected, set-shifting behaviour was positively correlated with scores on the Sensitivity to Reward scale, a measure of Gray's impulsivity. Discuss...

Summary: | The objective of this study was to investigate personality correlates of set-shifting behaviour using a task sensitive to dopaminergic activity. As expected, set-shifting behaviour was positively correlated with scores on the Sensitivity to Reward scale, a measure of Gray's impulsivity. Discussion is focused on the relationship between this greater ability for set-shifting and the proneness to disinhibition. (Original abstract) |
