Contemporary Bayesian theories of the mind highlight the role of prediction errors as a driving force in learning processes and the updating of our models of the world and of ourselves. This process is postulated to manifest both at explicit levels (e.g., subjective responses) and at implicit levels (e.g., eye movements, reaction time) of behavior. We developed a novel associative learning task in immersive virtual reality, in which a cue probabilistically predicted the subsequent location of a target to which participants had to reach. Specifically, the current study (N = 30) examined: (1) wh
