This chapter reviews existing data regarding the role of the hippocampus and the striatum in learning, and their modulation by dopamine, in order to provide a broader understanding of how learning guides decision making. In particular, it suggests that, while the striatum supports decisions based on gradual stimulus-response learning, the hippocampus supports decisions that depend upon episodic, contextual information and mnemonic flexibility. It describes an experiment with a novel paradigm that investigates the role of hippocampal-dependent memory processes in decision making, and demonstrates that representational processes characteristic of episodic memory emerge in the context of a reward-based decision-making task.

Keywords:   hippocampus, striatum, learning, dopamine, decision making, representational process, memory
