Article Synopsis
- Lapses in cognitive tasks might not just be due to distractions or fatigue; they could also be linked to a form of exploratory behavior that helps with learning in changing situations.
- Chronic cocaine exposure complicates this, improving performance in set-shifting tasks by reducing lapse rates while increasing perseverative errors, suggesting a nuanced effect on cognitive flexibility.
- This research supports the idea that random lapses in behavior can aid decision-making processes, indicating that how deeply individuals engage with rules can influence their exploration strategies.
