The comparable strategic flexibility of model-free and model-based learning

2020-01-06

Abstract excerpt

Different learning strategies are thought to fall along a continuum that ranges from simple, inflexible, and fast “model-free” strategies, to more complex, flexible, and deliberative “model-based strategies”. Here we show that, contrary to this proposal, strategies at both ends of this continuum can be equally flexible, effective, and time-intensive. We analyzed behavior of adult human subjects performing a canoni...
