Excited to co-host a workshop at @rldmdublin2025.bsky.social with @danmirea.bsky.social & @anadasilvapinho.bsky.social next week!
We will be exploring applications of reinforcement learning to real-world data 🌳 Sign up to our mailing list to receive updates: sites.google.com/view/rlinthe...

**Old Strategies, New Environments: Reinforcement Learning on Social Media**
In this Review, we argue that the computational framework of Reinforcement Learning can help us understand social media behaviour:

While younger people and women are more goal-directed when posting on Twitter. However, we find no relationship between reward learning and wellbeing.

Across a large Twitter dataset (n=2,696), including a preregistered replication, we show that this hybrid goal-directed and habitual cognitive process drives posting behaviour...

The model is adapted from the animal psychology literature, and building on the model of @bjornlindstrom.bsky.social et al, suggests that social media users post to maximise 'rewarding' Likes using the same cross-species learning processes as rats seeking food rewards in lab experiments...
