Abstract *

<p style="text-align: justify;">How might differences in dispersal and learning interact in range expansion dynamics? To begin to answer this question, in this preregistration we detail the background, hypothesis plus associated predictions, and methods of our proposed study, including the development and validation of a mechanistic reinforcement learning model, which we aim to use to assay colour-reward reinforcement learning (and the influence of two candidate latent parameters—speed and sampling rate—on this learning) in great-tailed grackles—a species undergoing rapid range expansion, where males disperse.</p>

No need for them to be recommenders of PCI Registered Reports. Please do not suggest reviewers for whom there might be a conflict of interest. Reviewers are not allowed to review preprints written by close colleagues (with whom they have published in the last four years, with whom they have received joint funding in the last four years, or with whom they are currently writing a manuscript, or submitting a grant proposal), or by family members, friends, or anyone for whom bias might affect the nature of the review - see the code of conduct

Opposed reviewers - Suggest up to 5 people not to invite as reviewers. (Optional)
