Extracting Principles of Exploration Strategies with a Complex Ecological Task

2025-10-31

Abstract excerpt

<p>Human exploration, a cornerstone of our ability to solve novel problems, is a complex process, posing significant research challenges. Most previous studies simplify tasks to isolate specific variables, creating artificial problems that do not align with those humans have evolved to solve, thus limiting the generalizability of findings. To address this gap, we introduce the Lockbox paradigm: a novel, ecological...
