People also vary in their learning patterns: Those with higher levels of subclinical psychopathic traits are less sensitive to other-relevant information, leading to more instrumentally harmful behaviors (i.e., benefiting themselves at an expense to others)

Multiple brain regions distinctly encode the asymmetric value update that guides future prosocial or antisocial behavior during learning, noting the subgenual and pregenual anterior cingulate play key roles for dual outcome learning (in addition to ventral striatum)

In 3 pre-registered studies, we examined how these behaviors are acquired + built computational models to test overarching hypotheses

We found people update the expected value of choices asymmetrically based on 4 prediction errors related to the target (self, other) & valence (positive, negative)
