SUMMARY:BHI Plenary Seminar: “Efficiently Irrational” with Dr. Paul Glimcher
DESCRIPTION:“Efficiently Irrational” \nConnecting findings across disciplines suggests that observed choice behavior reflects a precise optimization of the trade-off between the costs of increasing the choice mechanism’s precision and the declining benefits that come as precision increases. Under these constraints a rationally imprecise strategy emerges which works towards optimal efficiency\, rather than towards optimal rationality. This approach rationalizes many of the puzzling inconsistencies of human choice behavior\, explaining why these inconsistencies arise as an optimizing solution in biological choosers. \nPaul Glimcher\, PhD\nJulius Silver Professor of Neural Science.\nProfessor of Neuroscience and Physiology.\nProfessor of Psychology and Economics.\nNYU School of Medicine. \nIn person: CABM\, Room 010\, Busch Campus\, Piscataway \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/91417550396?pwd=OFFhaU4xS3dhVmRkWGRYMHU2MjhQZz09 \nZoom Meeting ID: 914 1755 0396; Password: 042023\nJoin by phone: +1 646 558 8656 \n

In this talk\, I will describe a study in which we assessed baseline and 1-year follow-up data on a sample of healthy controls (HCs; N = 48) and treatment-seeking individuals with one or more SUDs (alcohol\, cannabis\, sedatives\, stimulants\, hallucinogens\, and/or opioids; N = 83) who completed a standard ‘three-armed bandit’ task designed to assess explore-exploit behavior. I will also describe a pre-registered replication study with a new sample of 168 individuals with SUDs and 99 HCs. Computational models – based on the notion of active learning – were fit to behavior on the task. Relative to HCs\, participants with SUDs were found at baseline to show slower learning rates in response to negative outcomes and less precise action selection. We then repeated these analyses when the same individuals returned and re-performed the task 1 year later to assess the stability of these baseline differences. We also examined whether baseline modelling measures could predict symptoms at follow-up. Bayesian analyses indicated that: (a) group differences in learning rates were stable over time (posterior probability = 1); (b) relationships between model parameters at baseline and follow-up were all significant and ranged from small to moderate (.25 < ICCs < .54); and (c) learning rates and/or information-seeking values at baseline were associated with substance use severity at 1-year follow-up in stimulant and opioid users (.36 < rs < .43\, .002 < ps < .02). Differences in learning rates for losses replicated in the second sample\, and model parameters could jointly differentiate specific substance disorders when combining samples. These findings suggest that processing dysfunctions involving learning to arbitrate between exploration and exploitation may show some stability throughout the recovery period. At the same time\, individual computational differences at baseline had some predictive value for changes in substance use severity. Taken together\, these results suggest active learning models may allow measurement of trait dysfunctions that could have predictive utility for substance use severity. \n  \nLocation/Logistics \n\nWednesday\, April 12th\, 10-11am EST\nZoom link: https://princeton.zoom.us/j/6397147065\n\n\nFYI\, abstracts for previous talks are posted on the CCNP website: ccnp.princeton.edu. A list of upcoming seminars\, job announcements\, and other info about CCNP are available there as well.
