Lucky for you, lazy people at #RLDM2025, two of the best posters have apparently been put side-by-side: go check @maevalhotellier.bsky.social and @constancedestais.bsky.social posters!

New in Nature MentalHealth! with Vrizzi, Najar, Lemogne, and @mael-lebreton.bsky.social
We tested whether behavioural and RL-based model parameters are test-retest reliable and predict mental health traits.
The result? Not really.

Behavioral, computational and self-reported measures of reward and punishment sensitivity as predictors of mental health characteristics - Nature Mental Health
Reinforcement learning task-based behavioral and computational measures displayed low test–retest reliability at the individual level. Also in contrast to self-assessed personality measures, behaviora...
