In this article, we compare computational models of hu-man behavior in a challenging variant of tic-tac-toe, to inves-tigate the cognitive processes underlying sequential planning.We validate the most successful model by predicting choicesduring games, two-alternative forced choices and board evalu-ations. We then use this model to study individual skill differ-ences, the effects of time pressure and the nature of expertise.Our findings suggest that people perform less tree search un-der time pressure, and that players search more as they improveduring learning.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Sequential decision-making"},{"word":"Behavioral model-ing"},{"word":"expertise"}],"section":"Talks: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0v94n7cd","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Bas","middle_name":"","last_name":"van Opheusde","name_suffix":"","institution":"New York University","department":""},{"first_name":"Gianni","middle_name":"","last_name":"Galbiati","name_suffix":"","institution":"New York University","department":""},{"first_name":"Zahy","middle_name":"","last_name":"Bnaya","name_suffix":"","institution":"New York University","department":""},{"first_name":"Yunqi","middle_name":"","last_name":"Li","name_suffix":"","institution":"New York University","department":""},{"first_name":"Wei","middle_name":"Ji","last_name":"Ma","name_suffix":"","institution":"New York University","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/27012/galley/16648/download/"}]}
