Categorical values are indicated as number and percentages (%), numeric values as mean ± SEM. Comparison between proportions is made with χ2 test, comparison between means with one-way ANOVA or Kruskal–Wallis (MMSE, FAB, Stroop, BDI) test. Effect size is provided as phi for χ2 test, partial η for ANOVA, and ε2 for Kruskal–Wallis. R-LD, n = 16; P-LD, n = 16; R-Halo, n = 16; P-Halo, n = 16; R-Pl, n = 16; P-Pl, n = 16; Education, participants with ≥15 years of education; BMI, body mass index (kg/m2); MMSE, mini-mental state examination; FAB, frontal assessment battery; AES-S, apathy evaluation scale, self-administered version; BDI, Beck depression inventory; SP, sensitivity to punishment; SR, sensitivity to reward; Money, GBP (£) received at the end of the session; Success rate, number of trials in which the maximum amount of points was received (i.e., four points in the reward groups and zero points in the punishment groups).
