It is stated just above the quoted text.

Basically a lower-than-expected response to reward anticipation and a higher-than-expected response upon reward delivery.

I.e. the typical ADHD problem of instant vs delayed gratification and how the brain responds to it.

Neurotypical people’s brains seem to be better at rewarding in anticipation and not just on actual delivery.

IIUC
