Abstract:Humans tend to repeat past actions due to rewarding outcomes. Recent computational models propose that the probability of selecting a specific action is also, in part, based on how often this action was selected before, independent of previous outcomes or reward. However, these new models so far lack empirical support. Here, we present evidence of a repetition bias using a novel sequential decision-making task and computational modeling to reveal the influence of choice frequency on human value-based choices. … Show more
