Interesting! I'm very interested in the affective / "attitude adjustment" component of all this (and using similar paradigms to modulate and study it). I'm curious to hear whether you have thoughts on how all this might relate to "mood" (e.g. www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

In your discussion, you talk about curiousity and regret, but not mood per se; do you see them as connected (or am I missing something that disconnects them)? e.g. your paper seems to relate to this theory that mood exists as a running average of RPE for RL psycnet.apa.org/record/2021-...
