— MORDOROfficial title:
MONITORING OF REALITY AND DOPAMINE: A PHARMACOLOGICAL RESEARCH
Reality-monitoring characterizes the ability to determine whether information was perceived in the environment or only imagined . Impaired reality-monitoring abilities have been associated with hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia and patients with Parkinson's disease. The investigators hypothesize a link between dopaminergic (DA) transmission and reality-monitoring.

| Primary | Reality-monitoring performance | Measured with a behavioral task developed, validated and used in investigators lab. During the memory retrieval phase, 48 words will be presented, including the 32 words presented during encoding as well as 16 new words. Subjects will be required to identify whether each word was previously heard, imagined or new. Three words lists will be used and assigned randomly depending on the substance condition (L-dopa, Sulpiride, placebo). Each verbal list will include 16 items with the "imagine hear" encoding condition and 16 items with the "listen" encoding condition. A single measure including two variables of interest will account for the main evaluation criteria: The average conditional source-identification measure (ACSIM) which represents the overall ability to correctly retrieve the source, conditional on that item was recognized as already presented. The source misattributions,the number of confusions between heard and imagined events. |

| Secondary | Reaction times at the reality-monitoring task and scores of subjective confidence rating for reality-monitoring responses | Regarding reality-monitoring, a single test in which investigators will also measure the reaction times at the reality-monitoring task and scores of subjective confidence rating for reality-monitoring responses. The variable of interest will be the number of high-confident incorrect source-recognition responses. Investigators finally measure the vividness of each "imagined" or "listened" word with Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) from 0 to 100. | One month | |
| Secondary | Other cognitive tasks | In the same test investigators will measure the number of correct/incorrect responses and reaction times at the n-back working memory task. The effect of dopamine modulation on the ability the ability to determine our speech as self-generated will be measured with a self-monitoring task. Investigators measure the magnitude of a voice peak response reflecting the feeling of agency. The effect of dopamine modulation on perception will be evaluated with the performances measured during 2 home-made Bayesian reasoning tasks, evaluating speech processing and visual processing, respectively. |
