Tracking subjects' strategies in behavioural choice experiments at trial resolution. (2024)
Journal Article
Maggi, S., Hock, R. M., O'Neill, M., Buckley, M. J., Moran, P. M., Bast, T., Sami, M., & Humphries, M. D. (2024). Tracking subjects' strategies in behavioural choice experiments at trial resolution. eLife, 13, Article e86491. https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.86491

Investigating how, when, and what subjects learn during decision-making tasks requires tracking their choice strategies on a trial-by-trial basis. Here we present a simple but effective probabilistic approach to tracking choice strategies at trial re...
