Optimistic biases in observational learning of value
Action-outcome contingencies can be learnt either by active trial-and-error, or vicariously, by observing the outcomes of actions performed by others. The extant literature is ambiguous as to which of these modes of learning is more effective, as controlled comparisons of operant and observational learning are rare. Here, we contrasted human operant and observational value learning, assessing i...
متن کاملOptimistic Execution in Key-Value Store
Limitations of CAP theorem imply that if availability is desired in the presence of network partitions, one must sacrifice sequential consistency, a consistency model that is more natural for system design. We focus on the problem of what a designer should do if she has an algorithm that works correctly with sequential consistency but is faced with an underlying key-value store that provides a ...
متن کاملPerceived and actual breast cancer risk: optimistic and pessimistic biases.
Perceived risk can influence health behaviors. Studies using various populations and breast cancer risk bias assessment methods have identified both risk over- and underestimation. Among 1803 women in primary care settings, 47 percent were at average epidemiologic risk (Gail calculated relative risk ±50 percent of age-adjusted population average) and 55 percent perceived themselves to be at ave...
متن کاملOptimistic Value Model of Uncertain Optimal Control
Optimal control is an important field of study both in theory and in applications. Based on uncertainty theory, an expected value model of uncertain optimal control problem was studied by Zhu. In this paper, an optimistic value model for uncertain optimal control problem is investigated. Applying Bellman’s principle of optimality, the principle of optimality for the model is presented. And then...
متن کاملOptimistic and pessimistic biases: a primer for behavioural ecologists
To address the adaptive value of optimism/pessimism an operational definition is required. I define a behavioural decision as relatively optimistic if it is consistent with the animal having either, a higher expectation of reward, or a lower expectation of punishment (threat), than the same animal in a different state (or a different animal). Pessimism is the inverse of optimism. Such relative ...
