Paradoxical choice and the value of information in animals by Ajuwon, V

“…</p> <br> <p>In Chapter 4, I use <em>GoFish</em> and the paradoxical choice protocol to explore non-instrumental information-seeking in fish (goldfish) for the first time. Like in birds and mammals, fish learned the programmed contingencies and showed rational preferences between stimuli predicting differing reward probabilities, but, unlike the other vertebrates studied so far, this did not translate into a preference for signalled outcomes.…”
