Strategic variability in humans, pigeons, and rats.

2025-03-14

Abstract excerpt

<p>Strategically variable behavior can be advantageous in various fields such as sports (unpredictability), art (creativity), science (innovation), and problem-solving (thinking outside the box). Although previous studies identified experimental conditions under which humans and non-human animals show increased variable decision-making, we have only a limited understanding of its underlying cognitive mechanisms.
