Triangulating the Cognitive Mechanisms of Naturalistic Human Avoidance Learning

2026-08-03

Abstract excerpt

<p>Learning to avoid harm is essential for wellbeing, and its dysregulation is thought to underlie anxiety-related disorders. To date, there is no generally accepted computational theory of human avoidance learning. A potential reason is the absence of systematic empirical benchmarks capable of distinguishing competing theories. Here, we test 12 canonical and novel associative learning phenomena in a naturalistic...
