Contextual inference through flexible integration of environmental features and behavioural outcomes
Fig 6
Supporting learning with outcome inference improves initial formation of context-dependent representations leading to long-lasting improvement in performance.
(A) Number of incorrect updates of the context map during the first trial type switch, (B) Evolution of the average context map’s predicted future occupancy when the agent is in the starting state (log scale), at the end of the first block and the end of the second block of trials for joint and feature inference agents, (C) Underrepresentation of the correct cue (left) and overrepresentation of the incorrect cue (right) on the average context maps used on random trials, (D) Confidence in inferred context identity following the cue on random trials. * indicates p < 0.05, statistical results are detailed in S1 Table.
