Popis: Background: Patients with schizophrenia (SZ) exhibit numerous cognitive deficits that negatively impact their global functioning. Reward-associative learning deficits of SZ patients may be particularly important given that most efficacious behavioral therapies utilize reward learning-based programs to improve global functioning. Because the dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) has been implicated in the direct dopamine pathway underlying reward-associative learning, we assessed whether indirect or direct activation of these receptors would improve such learning.
