    "title": "A Casual Model Approach to Dynamic Control",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Acting effectively in the world requires learning and control-\nling dynamic systems, that is, systems involving feedback re-\nlations among continuous variables that vary in real time. We\nintroduce a novel class of dynamic control environments us-\ning Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes connected in causal Markov\ngraphs that allow us to systematically test people’s ability to\nlearn and control various dynamic systems. We find that per-\nformance varied across a range of test environments, roughly\nmatching with complexity defined by a set of models trained\non the task (an optimal model, a deep Reinforcement Learning\nagent, and a PID controller). The testbed of dynamic envi-\nronments and class of models introduced in this paper lay the\ngroundwork for the systematic study of people’s ability to con-\ntrol complex dynamic systems.",
