In conclusion, the behavioral results indicate (a) that the participants successfully acquired knowledge about the state transition probabilities in session 1 through a model-based FORWARD learner and (b) that the participants’ behavior reflects both model-based and model-free learning processes. This invites a search for their neural manifestations in terms of SPEs and RPEs.
