Exploration and generalization in vast spaces
14 Foraging for food, developing new medicines, and learning complex games are search problems with vast numbers of possible actions. Under time or resource constraints, optimal solutions are generally unobtainable. How do humans generalize and learn which actions to take when not all outcomes can be explored? We present two behavioural experiments and competitively test 27 models for predictin...
متن کاملState Generalization 1 Navigating through Abstract Decision Spaces: Evaluating the Role of State Generalization in a Dynamic Decision-Making Task
Research on dynamic decision-making tasks, in which the payoffs associated with each choice vary with participants’ recent choice history, shows that humans have difficulty making long-term optimal choices in the presence of attractive immediate rewards. However, a number of recent studies have shown that simple cues providing information about the underlying state of the task environment may f...
متن کاملExploration strategies in human decision making
The tradeoff between pursuing a known reward (exploitation) and sampling unknown, potentially better opportunities (exploration) is a fundamental challenge faced by all adaptive organisms. Theories formalize the value of exploration (gathering information) as an information bonus. However, this may be difficult to compute; a simpler alternative is to increase decision noise, driving random expl...
متن کاملThe Perceived Duration of Vast Spaces
Experiencing awe may make us believe we have more time (Rudd, Vohs, & Aaker, 2012). Awe can be evoked by encountering a vast experience (Keltner & Haidt, 2003), for example an endless ocean or large mountains (Klatzky, Thompson, Stefanucci, Gill, & McGee, 2017). Vast environments may lead to distortions in perceived time that are reported after awe experiences. Participants reproduced the perce...
متن کاملClimatic Guides for Designing Open Spaces in Residential Complexes of Yazd
Human’s disregard to nature and consequently his living environment’s distance from natural endowments and potentials have caused many problems. Human’s living spaces are less desirable for him, and have destroyed his comfort in many cases, as man-made things. In this regard, public open spaces in residential areas can be mentioned because they are usually considered among the most vulnerable s...
