Very Cool! Steve Fleming mentioned this study at his talk here last week

ah i see....we did originally report at a bunch of correlations between (model-free) indices of learning phase behavior and between-phase transfer (and they do relate strongly). but an anonymous referee killed them....definitely would be good to chat down the line

another way of saying this is our task setting might be too simplistic to be able to identify fancier forms of generalization (beyond the simple generalization in RL we considered...)

that is cool, I need to look at this! I think the the FS utility function already does a sort of generalization (e.g. it will discount utility according it's 'envy' parameter) across different levels of unfairness but maybe I misunderstood the question?

Advantageous and disadvantageous inequality aversion can be taught through learning of others’ preferences Like disadvantageous inequity aversion, advantageous inequity aversion can be learned by observing another’s fairness preferences.

People tend to be OK with unfair resource distributions when they stand to gain at another's expense. Can we teach people--via observational learning--to punish advantageous inequity?
