Primes¶
- Counterfactual Proximity Weighting
- Operant learning and gambling: the near-miss effect — a slot machine showing "two cherries and a lemon" produces approach behaviour and dopaminergic response resembling a partial win, even though nothing was paid; the graded counterfactual proximity drives re-engagement.

Clark et al. show near-misses recruit win-related striatal and insula circuitry and raise desire to play despite no payout; they do not measure dopamine directly or test graded proximity, and the desire effect needed personal control.
“Near-miss outcomes recruited striatal and insula circuitry that also responded to monetary wins”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
