Procedure of the Monetary Incentive Delay task (baseline block not shown). The incentive block will consist of incentive trials and control trials. In each trial, participants will need to respond as fast and as correctly as possible to triangles or squares. During incentive trials (indicated by a circle with a horizontal line), they will be able to keep or lose points that will later be transferred to financial earnings. If they respond correctly and faster than during the baseline block, they will not lose a point (indicated by a centime coin). If they respond incorrectly or not fast enough, they will lose a point (indicated by a centime coin with a red cross). During control trials, it will not be possible to receive points, but participants will still receive feedback whether they responded correctly
