Abstract
Decreased reward responsiveness, measured with the reward positivity (RewP) event-related potential, is a correlate of internalizing psychopathologies. Findings support an increased RewP with additional diagnosis of past alcohol use disorder (AUD), suggesting differential reward reactivity among subgroups of internalizing disorders. This increase may represent risk of relapse for AUD.
