The sense of agency, defined as the subjective experience controlling one’s actions and their consequences, is a fundamental aspect human cognition. This study introduces dual-mode theory that posits two underlying modes: Exploitation exploration. aligns with comparator model, relying on prediction errors strong self-agency, whereas exploration involves accounting for others’ potential influence more flexible self-model. We employed face-motion mixing paradigm using deep generative model to test our theory, manipulating belief in control by having participants interact own face or someone else’s face, full partial control. results supported hypothesis, showing linked stronger beliefs, was associated less movement diversity sharper drop agency rating when small discrepancies were presented, compared which engaged exploratory behavior yielded higher ratings varied movements. These findings contribute understanding how beliefs action policies perceptual sensitivities. proposed offers comprehensive dynamic interplay between exploitation modes providing useful framework predict interpret nuanced ways individuals exert varying contexts.

Abstract The target article argued that motivation constructs are treated as black boxes and called for work specifies the mental computational processes underlying motivated behavior. In response to critical commentaries, we clarify our philosophical standpoint, elaborate on meaning of why past was not sufficient, discuss opportunities expand scope framework.

Introduction Traditional teaching models in molecular diagnostics often fail to engage students effectively, leading superficial learning and limited development of core competencies. Methods This study evaluated the integration gamified with collaborative inquiry enhance student motivation competencies improvement among 47 biotechnology undergraduates at Guilin Medical University. Participants engaged a four-unit “Gene Detective” game, solving clinical cases through techniques, earning skill points, group discussions. Results Data from assessments, self-reported competency scales, final exam scores concurrent course, post-course questionnaires revealed significant improvements especially critical thinking, curiosity, creativity communication skill, positive correlation between game-based values academic performance. Over 88% reported high engagement, 79.6% increased interest. Discussion While hybrid model successfully promoted development, challenges enhancing providing individualized support were identified. The findings underscore potential gamification medical education highlight future directions, including AI-driven personalization refined tasks, optimize outcomes.

To understand human learning and progress, it is crucial to curiosity. But how consistent curiosity’s conception assessment across scientific research disciplines? We present the results of a large collaborative project assessing correspondence between curiosity measures in personality psychology cognitive science. A total 820 participants completed 15 trait 9 tasks that tested multiple aspects information demand. show shared variance was captured by dimension reflecting directed (uncertainty-driven) versus random (stochasticity-driven) exploration individual differences along this axis were significantly consistently predicted traits. However, metrics best demand not central traits openness experience, deprivation sensitivity, joyous exploration, but instead included more peripheral (need for cognition, thrill seeking, stress tolerance) traditionally associated with (extraversion behavioral inhibition). The suggest umbrella term “curiosity” reflects constellation emotional processes, only some which are tasks. reflect distinct methods used these fields, indicating need caution comparing fields future interdisciplinary collaborations strengthen our emerging understanding

Humans and other animals often seek instrumental information to strategically improve their decisions in the present. Our curiosity also leads us acquire non-instrumental that is not immediately useful but can be encoded memory stored for use future by means of episodic recall. Despite its adaptive benefits central role human cognition, questions remain about cognitive mechanisms evolutionary origins underpin curiosity. Here, we comparatively review recent empirical studies some authors have suggested reflects nonhuman animals. We focus on findings from laboratory tasks which individuals choose gain advanced uncertain outcomes, even though cannot used increase rewards costly. explore prevalence preferences these across animals, discuss theoretical advances they promoted, outline limitations contemporary research. several features guide research aimed at characterising understanding Though actively debated, surmise investigating behavioural candidates curiosity-motivated behaviour a broader range species contexts, should help promote our principles pressures support curiosity-driven behaviour.

During spatial learning, subjects progressively adjust their navigation strategies as they acquire experience. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) supports this operation, for which it may integrate information from distributed networks, such the hippocampus (HPC) and posterior parietal (PPC). However, mechanism underlying coordination with HPC PPC during learning is poorly understood. Here we show that trials, mice displayed two sequential behavioral stages: searching exploration. Exclusively searching, gradually increased efficiency by transitioning non-spatial to strategies. When used specifically in stage, hippocampal oscillations synchronized gamma (60-100 Hz) neuronal firing mPFC. This coincided an increase incidence of task-stage-related changes patterns These findings relate goal-directed organization behavior transient task-related large-scale synchronization. In vivo neural activity recordings reveal coupling modulated task requirements strategy learning.

Abstract Murayama and Jach point out that we do not sufficiently understand the constructs mental computations underlying higher-order motivated behaviors. Although this may be generally true, would like to add contribute discussion by outlining how interdisciplinary research on novelty-evoked exploration has advanced study of learning curiosity.

Abstract Human regulatory systems largely evolved under conditions of food and information scarcity but are now being forced to deal with abundance. The impact abundance the inability human adapt it have fed a surge in dual health challenges: (1) rise obesity related (2) stress anxiety No single framework has been developed describe why how transition from so challenging. Here, we provide speculative model based on predictive processing. We suggest that whereas (above destructive lower bounds like famine or voids) preserves fidelity relationship between prediction errors predictions, distorts this relationship. Furthermore, error minimization is enhanced (as number competing states niche restricted), opposite true also discuss warps fundamental drive for seeking novelty by fueling brain's exploration opposed exploitation) mode. Ameliorative strategies regulating may depend simulating scarcity, environmental condition which adapted over millennia.

ABSTRACT Perceptually novel objects have profound impacts on our daily decisions. People often pay to try meals over familiar ones, or see visual scenes at art exhibits and travel destinations. This suggests that perceptual novelty the value of physical rewards, such as food, interact level neural circuits guide decisions, but where how is unknown. We designed a behavioral task study this novelty-reward interaction in animals uncover its underpinnings. Subjects chose among offers associated with different expectations juice rewards. Expectation increased preference for expected was reflected by activity anterior ventral temporal cortex (AVMTC) – region previously implicated detection prediction orbitofrontal (OFC) an area receives prominent AVMTC inputs known capacity signal subjective objects. Neural patterns suggested upstream OFC decision process. Chemogenetic disruption → circuit altered impact valuation reward. Hence, system interactions during decisions through direct projections OFC.
