| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Decision-making and reinforcement learning arise from the involvement of two distinct processes that control choice, known as model-based and model-free strategies. Model-based choices are prospective, whereas model-free choices are retrospective. In general, normal performance depends on the flexible integration of model-based and model-free control. In this research, we employed a two-step sequential visual discrimination learning of complex stimuli in touch-screen task to establish a novel behavioral system for investigating a mixture of model-free and model-based reinforcement learning in rodent. Rats chose option on the reward amount- and provability-dependent manner. However, we failed to find best fitting behavioral modeling and parameters. We need to continue our experiments in future studies.
