“…Instead, less efficient random exploration strategies must be used (e.g., softmax exploration). A combined model of GP regression with upper confidence sampling has proved to be an effective model in a wide number of contexts, describing how people explore different food options based on real world data (Schulz, Bhui, et al, 2019), predicting whether or not to people will try out novel options (Stojić, Schulz, Analytis, & Speekenbrink, 2020), and explaining developmental differences between how children and adults search for rewards (Meder, Wu, Schulz, & Ruggeri, 2020;Schulz, Wu, Ruggeri, & Meder, 2018).…”
