2 prompts attached !

it wrote all the front-end code ! just need to connect your database and adjust the trials. I just gave it this image for the style

Hey cognitive scientists

I asked lovable.dev to make me a 2-arm bandit RL task

Trial 1

Hello world

to my (limited) knowledge, this is the first study to show that fluctuations in how people feel predict subsequent changes in latent decision-making parameters

motivation fluctuations predicted ⬆️willingness to make effort for reward

effect was
specific🎯(not for happiness, fatigue or sleep)
directional➡️(motivation changes lead to changes in decision-making parameters)
possibly clinically relevant🩺(stronger in high trait-apathy)

we also validated a mobile effort-based choice task which captured effort discounting with high reliability (over 28 possible task pairs)
choices (mean = 0.78 ± 0.02, 95% CI [0.74, 0.82])
model parameters (e.g., reward sensitivity = 0.93, 95% CI [0.91, 0.95])

we find that healthy adults (no conditions, no medication, age 18-45 [mean =32.4] yrs, 53% female) report substantial fluctuations in subjective motivation
linked with happiness, fatigue & sleep quality
trait-predict (day0) predicts⬇️mean & autocorrelation

life is a complex tapestry of fluctuating feelings
Sometimes we feel motivated, often we don't!
we designed a study to ask (how) do such fluctuations influence choices? w/

why is that effortful task SO unappealing today?
v happy to share a BIG effort from my PhD!
