12- and 24-Month-Old Infants’ Search Behavior Under Informational Uncertainty

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
Infants register and react to informational uncertainty in the environment. They also form expectations about the probability of future events as well as update the expectation according to changes in the environment. A novel line of research has started

Theory of choice in bandit, information sampling and foraging tasks.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2015
Decision making has been studied with a wide array of tasks. Here we examine the theoretical structure of bandit, information sampling and foraging tasks. These tasks move beyond tasks where the choice in the current trial does not affect future expected
