The computational roots of positivity and confirmation biases in reinforcement learning

S Palminteri, M Lebreton - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2022 - cell.com
Humans do not integrate new information objectively: outcomes carrying a positive affective
value and evidence confirming one's own prior belief are overweighed. Until recently …

Sensitivity and specificity in affective and social learning in adolescence

E Towner, G Chierchia, SJ Blakemore - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2023 - cell.com
Adolescence is a period of heightened affective and social sensitivity. In this review we
address how this increased sensitivity influences associative learning. Based on recent …

Intrinsic rewards explain context-sensitive valuation in reinforcement learning

G Molinaro, AGE Collins - PLoS Biology, 2023 - journals.plos.org
When observing the outcome of a choice, people are sensitive to the choice's context, such
that the experienced value of an option depends on the alternatives: getting $1 when the …

Impaired adaptation of learning to contingency volatility in internalizing psychopathology

C Gagne, O Zika, P Dayan, SJ Bishop - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
Using a contingency volatility manipulation, we tested the hypothesis that difficulty adapting
probabilistic decision-making to second-order uncertainty might reflect a core deficit that cuts …

Differential effects of reward and punishment on reinforcement-based motor learning and generalization

C Yin, B Li, T Gao - Journal of neurophysiology, 2023 - journals.physiology.org
Reward and punishment have long been recognized as potent modulators of human
behavior. Although reinforcement learning is a significant motor learning process, the exact …

Task errors contribute to implicit aftereffects in sensorimotor adaptation

LA Leow, W Marinovic, A de Rugy… - European Journal of …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Perturbations of sensory feedback evoke sensory prediction errors (discrepancies between
predicted and actual sensory outcomes of movements), and reward prediction errors …

Biased belief updating and suboptimal choice in foraging decisions

N Garrett, ND Daw - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
Deciding which options to engage, and which to forego, requires develo** accurate
beliefs about the overall distribution of prospects. Here we adapt a classic prey selection …

Contextual influence on confidence judgments in human reinforcement learning

M Lebreton, K Bacily, S Palminteri… - PLoS computational …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
