When models matter: Environmental demand guides the arbitration between model-based and model-free control

2025-03-04

Abstract excerpt

<p>As humans, we often repeat previously rewarded actions without thinking, but we also possess the ability to plan ahead and simulate actions based on an internal model of the environment. These two types of control are commonly conceptualised as model-free versus model-based control. While there is a body of research on interindividual differences in using either strategy, we aimed to test whether people can als...
