'''[[FFFF]]''' and '''[[exploitation]]''' will heighten the threshold for using paths, therefore only the strongest path will be used. If there aren't very strong paths available, no path will be selected, and the decision making system will freeze. The strongest path will be produced by conducting more repetitions in this path relative to other paths. '''[[PFC]]''' and '''[[exploration]]''' on the other side of the scale will reduce the threshold, and therefore will enable a larger variety of options. the The option that will be selected will be the one with the most rewards in non-self -control mode. In self-control mode, a grater greater rewards in the future will be preferred to immediate high rewards.
