Abstract

We conduct a standard bandit learning task, and manipulate the ITI to be either short (1s) or long (4s). We have pilot evidence suggesting that, after a loss, there is greater lose-shift behavior after a long ITI compared to after a short ITI. We test this one-sided hypothesis here. Initial analysis of pilot data and analyses can be found here: https://github.com/sharplabBIU/iti_learning
