This study identifies four computational mechanisms underlying effort-based decision-making in depression and finds that remitted and current depressed individuals show reduced effort acceptance bias.

The paper shows children exhibit greater optimism bias than adolescents, driven by reduced learning from negative outcomes.

The paper shows that children and younger adolescents use more computationally light exploration strategies, which is linked to ADHD traits, and this decreases with age.
