Learning is induced because of surprise. The d[[ACC]] is concerned more with attention and motor control processes involved in behavioral adjustment. The dopamine [[RPE]] system is the process from which a learning is happening<ref>Benjamin Y. Hayden1,2, Sarah R. Heilbronner, John M. Pearson, and Michael L.
