Comparing Anticipation and Uncertainty-Penalty Accounts of Non-Instrumental Information Seeking

2021-02-03

Abstract excerpt

<p>Proposed psychological mechanisms generating non-instrumental information seeking in humans can be broadly categorised into two competing accounts: the maximisation of anticipating rewards versus an aversion to uncertainty. We compare three separate formalisations of these theories on their ability to track the dependency of information seeking behaviour on increasing levels of cue-outcome delay as well as thei...
