Memory Trace Imbalance in Reinforcement and Punishment Systems Can Reinforce Implicit Choices Leading to Obsessive-Compulsive Behavior

2020-08-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> We may view most of our daily activities as rational action selections; however, we sometimes reinforce maladaptive behaviors despite having explicit environmental knowledge. In this study, we model obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms as implicitly learned maladaptive behaviors. Simulations in the reinforcement learning framework show that agents implicitly learn to respond to intrusive...
