Learning from oneself: Function learning with self-generated samples

2026-01-14

Abstract excerpt

<p>Humans often learn functional relationships in environments shaped by their own prior actions rather than by repeated exposure to an objective ground truth. The present research investigated how people learn functions when learning is based on self-generated samples. Across three preregistered behavioral experiments (N ≈ 1,800), we introduced a novel experimental paradigm that occupies an intermediate position...
