Older adults with depression make more errors after receiving feedback compared to controls. This suggests a performance feedback deficit in geriatric depression, potentially linked to the orbital frontal cortex.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Gerontology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • The orbital frontal cortex plays a role in processing performance feedback.
  • Geriatric depression may involve difficulties in responding to feedback.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test if older adults with depression commit more errors after receiving feedback compared to elderly controls.
  • To investigate the link between performance feedback and geriatric depression.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the Trail Making Test Part B (TRAILS-B) to 116 older depressed patients and 139 control subjects.
  • Provided immediate performance feedback after errors and measured subsequent error frequency.
  • Examined the likelihood of making subsequent errors.

Main Results:

  • Depressed patients made significantly more subsequent errors than control subjects, even after controlling for initial error rates.
  • This association remained significant in regression analyses.
  • Depression severity did not correlate with increased subsequent errors in the depressed group.

Conclusions:

  • Findings suggest a performance feedback deficit in geriatric depression.
  • Results support the role of the orbital frontal cortex in depression and feedback processing.
  • Geriatric depression is associated with impaired responses to performance feedback.
