Lots of little findings buried in Supps, as well as things that never made it to print. Happy to discuss!
Big kudos to the team @lilithzeng.bsky.social Haeme Park @gavanm.bsky.social

3. Strong test-retest reliability! Majority of individuals had same behavioural phenotype when retested 6-months later. Subtle role for self-reported cognitive flexibility in this.
I think this finding is especially neat given recent critiques of poor test-retest reliability in mainstay tasks

2. Poor avoidance wasn't due to "habits" here. Poor avoiders knew what they were doing, and believed it was optimal.
Diagram of what seems to be happening ("Unawares" need explicit info to optimise choices. "Compulsives" need info too but fail to translate new knowledge into optimal strategy):

TL;DR (what's new..)
1. We replicate prev findings (pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...) with int'l broad population sample. Get 3 behavioural profiles that mainly differ in whether they learn from -ve experiences alone vs. needing/using extra info
Age seems to be a factor (see Supplementary!)
