Environmental dynamics shape human learning: change points versus random walks

2025-11-28

Abstract excerpt

Adaptive learning requires interpreting prediction errors in light of environmental dynamics. However, environments may not only differ in terms of when changes occur, but also how they occur: some nonstationary processes in nature exhibit slow drifts over time, while others show more abrupt changes. This raises the question as to whether humans can adapt their learning to reflect the generative structure of the...
