summaryIn this talk, I will review research performed by my and other laboratories that highlights the existence of reinforcement learning biases. I will first start by briefly introducing the reinfor​​cement learning framework and proposing a taxonomy of biases within the framework itself. Then I will review direct empirical evidence supporting the existence of two learning biases: positivity bias and confirmation bias at the behavioral, neural, and clinical levels. Finally, I will present unpublished results of simulation studies that try to answer the question: what are these reinforcement learning biases good for?
