Algorithms of Adaptation in Inductive Inference

2021-10-10

Abstract excerpt

<p>We investigate the idea that human concept inference utilizes local incremental search within a compositional mental theory space. To explore this, we study judgments in a challenging task, where participants actively gather evidence about a symbolic rule governing the behavior of a simulated environment. Participants construct mini-experiments before making generalizations and explicit guesses about the hidden...
