Paradigm overview

Probabilistic Reversal Learning measures feedback learning and cognitive flexibility when reward contingencies change. Scores include criterion learning, reversal errors, and win-stay/lose-shift behavior.

Key scoring outputs

Trials to Criterion

trials

Trial count until a run of correct choices is achieved.

Lower is typically faster learning

Perseverative Errors

count

Errors after reversal blocks.

Lower is better

Win-Stay Rate

proportion

Tendency to repeat a choice after a correct outcome.
