Significance Our article offers an answer to a foundational question in psychology and neuroscience: how do people learn from rewards and punishments? Specifically, we introduce a computational model of human reinforcement learning (RL) that points to a nonlinear updating of the probability of reward. The strength of our model lies also in the process through which it was developed. Specifically, we discovered our model in a bottom–up fashion using symbolic regression—a class of machine learning tools applied primarily in physics and engineering. We believe that, in addition to the…
