Dopamine has many functions but its role in learning to predict rewards is fundamental. The details are in this seminal paper. A few years later, we extended this framework to human social exchange & found a surprising role for reward prediction error 6/n https://t.co/WlQ3rQOoaF

@IlyaKuzovkin (Twitter)Schultz et al. 1997 https://t.co/qJesOcZMxU shows how the dopamine response to an unpredicted reward shifs over time to an earliest reward-predicting cue. Also, the dopamine response attenuates as the cue becomes itself predictable.

@JohnMeuser (Twitter)What is explained in "A Neural Substrate of Prediction and Reward" is an interpretation of "how behavior works" which is at times inconsistent and at others independent of the results of behavior science.

@JohnMeuser (Twitter)The problem with modern biological explanations, like those in "A Neural Substrate of Prediction and Reward" is that they are explaining something other than an experimental analysis of behavior.

Abstract Synopsis
- The text explains that the ability to predict future events helps animals understand and influence their environment, especially regarding important outcomes like rewards or punishments.
- Experiments show that learning occurs when animals' expectations about these future events change, and recent physiological research has identified dopamine neurons in primates that signal when predictions about rewarding events are incorrect or need updating.
- Overall, these findings support theories that describe learning and prediction as processes of adaptive, optimizing control, where the brain adjusts its expectations based on new information to improve future behavior.]
