Active Inference, epistemic value, and vicarious trial and error.
Balancing habitual and deliberate forms of choice entails a comparison of their respective merits-the former being faster but inflexible, and the latter slower but more versatile. Here, we show that arbitration between these two forms of control can be derived from first principles within an Active Inference scheme. We illustrate our arguments with simulations that reproduce rodent spatial deci...
متن کاملActive inference and epistemic value.
We offer a formal treatment of choice behavior based on the premise that agents minimize the expected free energy of future outcomes. Crucially, the negative free energy or quality of a policy can be decomposed into extrinsic and epistemic (or intrinsic) value. Minimizing expected free energy is therefore equivalent to maximizing extrinsic value or expected utility (defined in terms of prior pr...

Elucidating the cognitive, affective, and rewardprocesses that take place during music listening is the aimof a growing number of researchers. Several authors haveused the Bayesian brain framework and existing models ofreward to interpret neural activity observed during musicallistening. The claims from Friston and colleagues regardingthe role of dopamine, as well as the...
متن کاملHippocampus, delay discounting, and vicarious trial-and-error.
In decision-making, an immediate reward is usually preferred to a delayed reward, even if the latter is larger. We tested whether the hippocampus is necessary for this form of temporal discounting, and for vicarious trial-and-error at the decision point. Rats were trained on a recently developed, adjustable delay-discounting task (Papale et al. (2012) Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci 12:513-526), whi...
