Instrumental 17 conditioning: a learning protocol in which a desired or 18 undesired is contingent on an action of the subject 19 (or agent). Pavlovian conditioning: a learning protocol in 20 which the contingency between two events is varied. 21 Entropy: the measure of amount of uncertainty, aka the 22 amount of information available in a probability distribu-23 tion. Mutual information: the sum of the entropies of the 24 marginal distributions minus the entropy of their joint
