Modulating the value of positive feedback does not influence expectation change in major depression – what can be learned from a failed replication?

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors aimed to replicate that cognitive immunization (a cognitive devaluation of expectation-disconfirming information) modulates expectation updating in depression. Aims and Hypotheses the study had two main objectives: first, to replicate the results of Kube et_al (2019b) regarding the influence of cognitive immunization on expectation update; and second, to take into account other factors that could potentially influence expectation update, namely, interpretation and memory. To pursue the first goal, the authors used the experimental modulation protocol of Kube et_al (2019b), in which the engagement in cognitive immunization was promoted in one condition (immunization-enhancing condition . . .
