Neural mechanisms of credit assignment for inferred relationships in a structured world

2021-12-23

Abstract excerpt

Animals have been proposed to abstract compact representations of a task’s structure that could, in principle, support accelerated learning and flexible behavior. Whether and how such abstracted representations may be used to assign credit for inferred, but unobserved, relationships in structured environments are unknown. Here, we develop a novel hierarchical reversal-learning task and Bayesian learning model to a...
