We bring them together for the first time in an ex-periment where participants learn causal structure by perform-ing interventions in continuous time. We contrast learning inacyclic and cyclic devices, with reliable and unreliable cause–effect delays. We show that successful learners use interven-tions to structure and simplify their interactions with the de-vices and that we can capture judgment patterns with heuristicsbased on online construction and testing of a single structural","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"causal learning; intervention; time; causal cycles;structure induction; dynamics."}],"section":"Talks: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0c61r7bj","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Neil","middle_name":"R.","last_name":"Bramley","name_suffix":"","institution":"New York University","department":""},{"first_name":"Ralf","middle_name":"","last_name":"Mayrhofer","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of G ̈ottingen","department":""},{"first_name":"Tobias","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gerstenberg","name_suffix":"","institution":"Massachusetts Institute of Technology","department":""},{"first_name":"David","middle_name":"A.","last_name":"Lagnado","name_suffix":"","institution":"University College London","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26813/galley/16449/download/"}]}
