SUMMARY:Talk Will Cunningham (NEURO-Connect Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Unmotivated bias  In this talk\, I will explore how social affective biases arise even in the absence of motivational factors as an emergent outcome of the basic structure of social learning. In several studies\, we found that initial negative interactions with some members of a group can cause subsequent avoidance of the entire group\, and that this avoidance perpetuates stereotypes.  Additional cognitive modeling discovered that approach and avoidance behavior based on biased beliefs not only influences the evaluative (positive or negative) impressions of group members\, but also shapes the depth of the cognitive representations available to learn about individuals. In other words\, people have richer cognitive representations of members of groups that are not avoided\, akin to individualized vs group level categories. I will end presenting a series of multi-agent reinforcement learning simulations that demonstrate the emergence of these social-structural feedback loops in the development and maintenance of affective biases.
