Surprise, The Driving Force of Learning
Every time you try something new, the size and direction of the error tells you how to improve in the next trial.
We constantly make predictions, form hypotheses and test them in the real world.
We only learn when events violate our expectations. This is the Prediction Error cause us to remember what has happened and how to improve next time.
The prediction error is a surprise signal which corrects the internal representation of the real world. The model changes in the direction the proportion of strength and stimulus of the prediction error.
The brains tries to predict the inputs it receives and adjusts these predictions according to the degree of surprise, improbability , or error To learn is to curtail the unpredictable.
An experiment shows that no learning occurs in the absence of surprise: a prediction error is essential to learning.
