How do animals learn new rules? By systematically testing different behavioral strategies, guided by selective attn. to rule-relevant cues: https://rdcu.be/etlRV
Akin to in-context learning in AI models, strategy selection depends on the animals' "training set" (prior experience). And humans follow similar strategies and express neural representations with similar properties as in rats.
Fantastic work by Florian Bähner, Hazem Toutounji, Tzvetan Popov and many others - I'm just the person advertising!
