Uncertainty, Social Learning & Social Rewards in Social Networks

Abstract

Adolescence is a time of social re-orientation in which peers become important sources of information and support. Social information is very useful to navigate the uncertain and novel environments faced by adolescents. Yet not all information is equally valuable, so it is an important skill to weigh information accordingly. Here I will present a computational framework and several empirical studies on how adolescents learn how to adaptively use social information stemming from different sources in their social networks. Besides information, social networks provide social support and social feedback. Positive social feedback from peers may specifically be a strong motivator for adolescents. We investigate the implications of feedback sensitivity on social media use in youth in three different studies, using trace-data, experimental studies and brain imaging.
