Exploration and recency as the main proximate causes of probability matching: a reinforcement learning analysis

2017-01-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Research has not yet reached a consensus on why humans match probabilities instead of maximise in a probability learning task. The most influential explanation is that they search for patterns in the random sequence of outcomes. Other explanations, such as expectation matching, are plausible, but do not consider how reinforcement learning shapes people’s choices. We aimed to quantify how human p...
