Abstract
Normative theories of learning and decision-making are motivated by a computational-level analysis of the task facing an animal: what should the animal do to maximize future reward? However, much of the recent excitement in this field originates in how the animal arrives at its decisions and reward predictions—-algorithmic questions about which the computational-level analysis is silent.
