Simulation analysis highlights the evolutionary stability of positivity bias in reinforcement learning, suggesting significant adaptive advantages.

Positivity bias has shown greater evolutionary stability compared to gradual perseveration in reinforcement learning scenarios.
The simulation revealed that positivity bias can be adaptive across various environments, enhancing choice strategies.
A recent meta-analysis confirmed the presence of both mechanisms in human behavior, but their adaptive value remains underexplored.
This research utilizes an evolutionary algorithm to compare the impacts of different cognitive biases on decision-making.

Hoxha et al. (2025) studied this question.
