Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The observation of others’ behaviour is an important means by which we can learn about the world and communicate with others. We propose a new observational learning model in which individuals use not only information about observed choices themselves, but also the time taken to make them, allowing them to make inferences about others uncertainty. To test our model, we studied behavioural and brain imaging data (fMRI) during subject pairs performing a social two-armed bandit task by observing each other. We show that this model efficiently learns observed values and describes the behaviour of subjects well. From the model-based imaging analysis, we found that they have a convergent representation in lateral orbitofrontal cortex, suggesting this region is central to the social learning network.
