Social Computations: Applying Reinforcement Learning Models to Understand Social Behavior

Specifically, we examine how group membership affects the acquisition of trust, how social preferences impede equitable trade, how ostracism propagates incidentally, and how empathy sways individuals to utilize automatic model-free learning strategies.
