How to perfect a chocolate soufflé and other important problems.

Abstract:

:When learning to achieve a goal through a complex series of actions, humans often group several actions into a subroutine and evaluate whether the subroutine achieved a specific subgoal. A new study reports brain responses consistent with such "hierarchical reinforcement learning."

    abstract::Pletikos et al.
