Positive Feedback vs. No-Feedback Games for Behavioral Change

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 14 Aug 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

We aim to investigate here whether we can develop a reinforcement learning game which provides game-based feedback to encourage positive actions (behaviors) both inside and outside of the game. Does providing positive reward when participants make decisions which are associated with value-based actions (like those in BA) result in different game decisions? We propose that it will increase positive actions in the game. And, secondly, how does it affect short-term behavior (in one week)? We propose that it will increase pro-health activities and may reduce depressive symptoms.
