Abstract
Attitudes inform preferences and guide behavior. However, little research has investigated the nature of attitudes formed through instrumental learning, which involves the acquisition of preferences through behavior and feedback. We investigated whether attitudes formed through probabilistic reinforcement learning related to participants’ choice behavior, beyond memory for the task’s feedback structure.
