Adaptive variability in humans, pigeons, and rats.

2026-02-10

Abstract excerpt

<p>Adaptively variable behavior can be advantageous in various fields such as sports (unpredictability), art (creativity), science (innovation), and problem-solving (thinking outside the box). Although previous studies identified experimental conditions under which humans and non-human animals show increased variable decision making, we have only a limited understanding of its underlying cognitive mechanisms.
