Causal inference deficits and integration failure drive stable variation in human punishment sensitivity

2025-02-10

Abstract excerpt

<p>Some individuals persist in behaviors that incur harm to themselves or others. While adaptive decision-making requires integrating such punishment feedback to update action selection, the mechanisms driving individual differences in this capacity remain unclear. Here, in a sample spanning 24 countries, we used a conditioned punishment task to identify how individuals learn from and adapt to punishment. We ident...
