In the 1930s, philosopher John Dewey stated: “We do not learn from experience… we learn from reflecting on experience.” The question of how we learn from the consequences of our actions has been investigated for decades.

In a recent paper, Biderman and Shohamy show that we also revise the valuation of forgone options, assuming them to be inversely related to that of chosen ones. |
