{ "pk": 28873, "title": "Exploring the space of human exploration using Entropy Mastermind", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "What drives people’s exploration in complex scenarios wherethey have to actively acquire information? How do peopleadapt their selection of queries to the environment? We explorethese questions using Entropy Mastermind, a novel variantof the Mastermind code-breaking game, in which participantshave to guess a secret code by making useful queries. Partici-pants solved games more efficiently if the entropy of the gameenvironment was low; moreover, people adapted their initialqueries to the scenario they were in. We also investigatedwhether it would be possible to predict participants’ querieswithin the generalized Sharma-Mittal information-theoreticframework. Although predicting individual queries was dif-ficult, the modeling framework offered important insights onhuman behavior. Entropy Mastermind opens up rich possibili-ties for modeling and behavioral research.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Curiosity; Active Learning; Exploration; Entropy" } ], "section": "Papers with Poster Presentations", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3bb972t5", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Eric", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Schulz", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Harvard University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Lara", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Bertram", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Max Planck Institute for Human Development", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Matthias", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Hofer", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Max Planck Institute for Human Development", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Jonathan", "middle_name": "D.", "last_name": "Nelson", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Max Planck Institute for Human Development", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2019-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28873/galley/18744/download/" } ] }
