Seems like further evidence that nature has developed an optimal algorithm for solving the multi-armed bandit problem as it manifests in the typical environment humans evolved in. Unlike the artificial games used by the researchers, there is no such thing as a fixed reward in nature—everything is subject to change unexpectedly. Children are wired with an algorithm that heavily favors exploration in light of the dynamic environment.
