Reinforcement meta-learning optimizes visuomotor learning

Abstract: 16Reinforcement learning enables the brain to learn optimal action selection, such as go or not go, 17 by forming state-action and action-outcome associations. Does this mechanism also optimize the 18 brain's willingness to learn, such as learn or not learn? Learning to learn by rewards, i.e., 19 reinforcement meta-learning, is a crucial mechanism for machines to develop flexibility in 20 learning, which is also considered in the brain without empirical examinations. Here, we show 21 that humans learn to learn… Show more

“…A current challenge is to learn suitable action selection policies. Although explorationexploitation is known to be central in motor learning , it is yet unclear what process drives action selection in the brain (Carland et al, 2019;Sugiyama et al, 2020). These approaches still need to be experimentally assessed in a motor learning context.…”

“…Finally, a higher-level mechanism that governs the way of adaptation or learning has been proposed as meta-learning, which is mainly investigated in the framework of reinforcement learning [35,36]. An apparent different strategy to the drawing task found in two subjects in the present study might be a resultant outcome of a kind of meta-learning because the subjects had acquired the skill to perform the task through a reward-based training process.…”

“…In addition, it is possible to learn the reward derivation mechanism by using the inverse reinforcement learning model [36,37]. In this case, unlike the previous approach, a meta-cognitive artificial intelligence model that can adapt to other environments instead of just one environment is developed [38,39].…”
