Theoretical model | Training (reward learning) | Testing (same context, no reward) | Generalization (new context, no reward) |
---|---|---|---|
Learned Industriousness | High effort is rewarded independently of specific behaviour | Effort | Effort |
Habit learning | Specific behaviour is rewarded independently of effort | Effort | No effort |
Goal-directed learning | Effort is exerted to obtain a high-value reward | No effort | No effort |
No learning | Reward is freely available regardless of behaviour or effort | No effort | No effort |
