I particularly like this because it applies across STEM disciplines. One could easily apply this in behavioral neuroscience (my field) and get quality results. Although as both a theoretician and experimentalist I’m not sure which would hurt me more: isn’t your reinforcement learning model just a recapitulation of Pavlovian conditioning? Or isn’t your experimental design problematic because it doesn’t make use of [insert favored alternative methods of insulter]. Probably the former. Ego often gets involved with theory.
