Machine Theory of Mind
Theory of mind (ToM; Premack & Woodruff, 1978) broadly refers to humans' ability to represent the mental states of others, including their desires, beliefs, and intentions. We propose to train a machi...

Feature-based reward learning shapes human social learning strategies - Nature Human Behaviour
This research advances a mechanistic reward learning account of social learning strategies. Through experiments and simulations, it shows how individuals learn to learn from others, dynamically shapin...

It’s even a bit bizarre (to not say nonsensical) to read consciousness into theTuring Test given that Turing explicitly rejects a counter-argument from consciousness as not being measurable in the 1950 paper.

This work provides a mechanistic bridge between subjective beliefs about agency and their impact on learning and well-being.

These studies also explore how agency-modulated reinforcement learning is represented in the brain, how it changes across development, how it is associated with early-life adversity, and how it is related to mental health symptoms.

In this talk, Dr Dorfman will present a series of studies demonstrating that agency beliefs can modulate the extent to which individuals learn from positive relative to negative outcomes and that this process can be explained by a novel Bayesian reinforcement learning model.

Agency beliefs have a substantial impact on mental health, but the mechanisms through which agency and mental health interact are unclear.

However, it is often impossible to know for certain whether we have control over the environment, so we must instead make inferences and form beliefs about our agency.
