Should we always learn the same way? Hell no! Check out Alana Jaskir ‘s impressive work to learn why not, how we do better and what dopamine has to do with that! Excellent 🧵👇🏼🌳

🔥🌶️ 🚒 A conversation starter for sure! Though other than to increase overall motivation in some participants, (extrinsic) incentives might be overrated in many tasks and as Arkady Konovalov himself concedes not necessary to generate sensible choice behavior. Food for thought!

The value we place on an option depends on the context and available alternatives. But why does getting $1 when the possibilities were 0 or 1 feel much better than when the possibilities were 1 or 10? 🧵👇 1/7
