Explicit knowledge of task structure is the primary determinant of human model-based action

2020-09-08

Abstract excerpt

Explicit information obtained through instruction profoundly shapes human choice behaviour. However, this has been studied in computationally simple tasks, and it is unknown how model-based and model-free systems, respectively generating goal-directed and habitual actions, are affected by the absence or presence of instructions. We assessed behaviour in a novel variant of a computationally more complex decision-ma...
