In our curiosity task, subjects could choose between risky options for juice rewards. In some trials, they could also gain information about what would have occurred had they chosen differently. By analyzing preference curves on such trials, we could quantify their subjective value of counterfactual information. We found a small but significant positive valuation of counterfactual information in both subjects tested (Wand and Hayden, 2019).
