Krishn Bera @krishnbera.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Models fit to choices alone overestimate how quickly people learn by trial and error. We validate this on a later, out-of-sample test phase the model never saw, where memory cannot help. PADDL predicted people's choices there; the choice-only model was overconfident. 100
Krishn Bera @krishnbera.bsky.social · 05/10/2026When we learn from feedback, two systems work in parallel: working memory, fast but limited to a few items, and reinforcement learning, slow but durable. They usually point to the same answer, so modeling choices alone blur their contributions. 110
