Goal-Directed Behavior and Instrumental Devaluation: A Neural System-Level Computational Model

Devaluation is the key experimental paradigm used to demonstrate the presence of instrumental behaviors guided by goals in mammals. We propose a neural system-level computational model to address the question of which brain mechanisms allow the current value of rewards to control instrumental action...
