The paper investigates how causal beliefs influence reinforcement learning by analyzing fMRI data from human participants during a task manipulating causal structure beliefs.

The paper investigates how controllability affects the balance between Pavlovian and instrumental action selection, finding that Pavlovian bias is stronger in low control contexts.

This study uses fMRI to investigate neural correlates of structure learning and associative learning, showing distinct brain regions and predictive behavioral outcomes.
