Closing the gap between palaeontological and neontological speciation and extinction rate estimates.

abstract：:It has previously been shown that the relative reliability of model-based and model-free reinforcement-learning (RL) systems plays a role in the allocation of behavioral control between them. However, the role of task complexity in the arbitration between these two strategies remains largely unknown. Here, using a com...
