Immediate Rewards vs. Value Functions in Reinforcement Learning
In reinforcement learning, a reward is immediate feedback for a transition, whereas a value function estimates the expected cumulative reward obtainable from a state or state-action pair. Thus, an action can produce a small immediate reward but still have high action value when it leads to favorable future rewards.

An autonomous agent is being trained to navigate a maze and reach a specific exit. The agent receives a small negative feedback signal (-0.1) for every step it takes and a large positive feedback signal (+100) only when it reaches the correct exit. The agent's goal is to maximize its total feedback score. Given this feedback structure, what is the most likely reason the agent might fail to learn to solve the maze, even after many attempts?
