TLDR
The explore/exploit trade-off has been studied extensively in behavioral ecology and computational neuroscience, but is relatively new to the field of psychiatry as discussed by the authors, which can offer psychiatry research a new approach to studying motivation, outcome valuation, and effort-related processes which are disrupted in many mental and emotional disorders.About:

Foraging for foundations in decision neuroscience: insights from ethology
TL;DR: It is argued that more should be done to combine the approaches taken in neuroscience with those taken in ethology and behavioural ecology to study decision-making, and illustrated how this has been achieved in the context of studies on foraging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subcortical Substrates of Explore-Exploit Decisions in Primates.
TL;DR: In this article, the explore-exploit dilemma refers to the challenge of deciding when to forego immediate rewards and explore new opportunities that could lead to greater rewards in the future.

Pandemic buying: Testing a psychological model of over-purchasing and panic buying using data from the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

TL;DR: In this article, a psychological model of over-purchasing informed by animal foraging theory and making predictions about variables that predict over-buying by either exacerbating or mitigating the anticipation of future scarcity was proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dopaminergic modulation of the exploration/exploitation trade-off in human decision-making
Karima Chakroun,David Mathar,Antonius Wiehler,Antonius Wiehler,Florian Ganzer,Jan Peters,Jan Peters +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that dopamine modulates how this circuit tracks accumulating uncertainty during decision-making by attenuating neural representations of overall uncertainty in insula and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
A step-by-step tutorial on active inference and its application to empirical data
TL;DR: In this article , a step-by-step tutorial on how to build POMDPs, run simulations using standard MATLAB routines, and fit these models to empirical data is presented.

Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction
TL;DR: This book provides a clear and simple account of the key ideas and algorithms of reinforcement learning, which ranges from the history of the field's intellectual foundations to the most recent developments and applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal foraging, the marginal value theorem.
TL;DR: This paper will develop a model for the use of a “patchy habitat” by an optimal predator and depresses the availability of food to itself so that the amount of food gained for time spent in a patch of type i is hi(T), where the function rises to an asymptote.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deciding Advantageously Before Knowing the Advantageous Strategy
TL;DR: The results suggest that, in normal individuals, nonconscious biases guide behavior before conscious knowledge does, and without the help of such biases, overt knowledge may be insufficient to ensure advantageous behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three parietal circuits for number processing
TL;DR: The horizontal segment of the intraparietal sulcus appears as a plausible candidate for domain specificity: It is systematically activated whenever numbers are manipulated, independently of number notation, and with increasing activation as the task puts greater emphasis on quantity processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical substrates for exploratory decisions in humans
TL;DR: It is shown, in a gambling task, that human subjects' choices can be characterized by a computationally well-regarded strategy for addressing the explore/exploit dilemma, and a model of action selection under uncertainty that involves switching between exploratory and exploitative behavioural modes is suggested.
