Talk:JCP - June 2018/@comment-35536700-20180524155852

Really, we could just do a JCP journal club and keep ourselves busy! So much to discuss in each of these issues. The "anscay ergo eclineday" finding is interesting for multiple reasons. First, we've looked on several occasions at maze scanning as a measure of planning, although I didn't publish my study showing that the monkeys only seem to look one turn in advance. But the bigger reason is that scanning as a measure of uncertainty seems to be coming full circle. There was a time when Smith was vocally opposed to measures like cursor oscillations or scans back-and-forth as indicative of uncertainty monitoring. (In fairness, he was responding to criticisms that it was these overt behaviors rather than potential subjective cues that drove the URs.) I like the fact that over behavioral correlates of uncertainty, which themselves are produced by the subjective states, are providing converging evidence.
