Reinforcement learning signal predicts social conformity.
13 Jan 2009 We often change our decisions and judgments to conform with normative group behavior. However, the neural mechanisms of social conformity remain unclear. Here we show, using functional magnetic resonance imaging, that conformity is based on ...
