      This is an interesting point. It means to say that if we are part of a group and that group has a strong opinion about something or a preference, to conform, our brain adjusts to that preference.
  • Dr. Klucharev and colleagues hypothesized that social conformity might be based on reinforcement learning and that a conflict with group opinion could trigger a "prediction error" signal. A prediction error, first identified in reinforcement learning models, is a difference between expected and obtained outcomes that is thought to signal the need for a behavioral adjustment.
