Removal of reinforcement improves instrumental performance in humans by decreasing a general action bias rather than unmasking learnt associations

2022-10-25

Abstract excerpt

Performance during instrumental learning is commonly believed to reflect the knowledge that has been acquired up to that point. However, recent work in rodents found that instrumental performance was enhanced during periods when reinforcement was withheld, relative to periods when reinforcement was provided. This suggests that reinforcement may mask acquired knowledge and lead to impaired performance. In the prese...
