Outcome uncertainty increases generalization in human predictive learning via prediction error

2026-02-13

Abstract excerpt

<p>Uncertainty refers to the state in which the probability of an outcome following an event is unknown. Substantial progress has been made in terms of understanding how uncertainty modulates learning and decision making, however the effect of outcome uncertainty on the generalization of prior knowledge to novel situations has not been clearly documented. In two predictive learning experiments, participants experi...
