Contextual inference through flexible integration of environmental features and behavioural outcomes
Fig 8
Supporting feature inference with outcome inference during learning improves performance on cue-discrimination tasks.
(A) Schematic of the non-match to sample task, where trials with the same cue repeated twice require a different response than trials where two differing cues are presented (left) and training protocol showing that outcome inference is used to support feature inference during the training phase (right), (B) Performance of feature inference and joint inference on the last 10 block switches, (C) Performance of feature inference and joint inference on random trials, (D) Schematic of the biconditional discrimination task, where the meaning of the second cue depends on the identity of the first cue, (E) Performance of feature inference and joint inference on the last 10 block switches, (F) Performance of feature inference and joint inference on random trials. * indicates p < 0.05, statistical results are detailed in S1 Table.
