Neural Computations Underlying Causal Structure Learning

2017-12-04

Abstract excerpt

Behavioral evidence suggests that beliefs about causal structure constrain associative learning, determining which stimuli can enter into association, as well as the functional form of that association. Bayesian learning theory provides one mechanism by which structural beliefs can be acquired from experience, but the neural basis of this mechanism is unknown. A recent study (Gershman, 2017) proposed a unified acc...
