Limited evidence for reduced learning rate adaptation in anxious-depression, before or after treatment

Prior research shows that humans adjust their learning rate based on environmental volatility. This adaptation has been shown to be reduced in individuals with high levels of anxious-depression, but past studies have been cross-sectional, making it unclear whether this adaptation is trait-like or responsive to treatment. There are also questions about the basic replicability of this effect with recent studies failing to find robust associations.
