Confidence phenotypes: a unified computational account of value and decision certainty in reinforcement learning

2026-04-30

Abstract excerpt

<p>Confidence, the “feeling of knowing” that accompanies every cognitive process, plays a critical role in human reinforcement learning; yet its computational bases in learning scenarios have only recently begun to be studied. Prior work has distinguished between value confidence (certainty in value estimates) and decision confidence (certainty that a choice is correct), but how these two forms of confidence are c...
