Adolescent risk-taking in the context of exploration and social influence (2021, background): “Evidence suggests that learning to interact with novel environments can be characterized by some form of Bayesian learning (Daw et al., 2005, 2006; Dayan & Daw, 2008; Knill & Pouget, 2004; Marković & Kiebel, 2016; Mathys et al., 2011; Nassar et al., 2010).”
The Predictive Coding Account of Psychosis (2018, background): “The resulting aberrant encoding of precision could lead to an abnormally strong weighting of PEs, which in turn leads to aberrant learning and the formation of delusional beliefs (53,58,59,64).”
How Do Expectations Shape Perception? (2018, result): “, [130]) to derive trial-by-trial quantitative estimates of variables of interest, and compare those to the data [87,128,131].”
Dopamine, Affordance and Active Inference (2012, background): “One link may be via variational Bayesian formulations of reinforcement-learning update equations (see below), in which precision-weighted prediction errors play a key role [120].”
The anatomy of choice: active inference and agency (2013, background): “…between distributions over the final state) that leads to a small value and associated precision. surprise—exactly the same conclusions have been reached when examining predictive coding schemes (Friston et al., 2012b) and hierarchical inference using volatility models (Mathys et al., 2011).”
Novelty or Surprise? (2013, methodology): “Variational approximation plays a key role in the hierarchical architecture proposed by Mathys et al. (2011), who discuss the relationship of the resulting learning process to error-correction methods like the Rescorla-Wagner model.”
