Making good decisions requires thinking ahead, but the huge number of actions and
outcomes one could consider makes exhaustive planning infeasible for computationally …

Humans routinely formulate plans in domains so complex that even the most powerful
computers are taxed. To do so, they seem to avail themselves of many strategies and …

One of the most striking features of human cognition is the ability to plan. Two aspects of
human planning stand out—its efficiency and flexibility. Efficiency is especially impressive …

Recent developments in decision-making research are bringing the topic of planning back to
center stage in cognitive science. This renewed interest reopens an old, but still unanswered …

People's cognitive strategies are jointly shaped by function and computational constraints.
Resource-rational analysis leverages these constraints to derive rational models of people's …

Human decision making is plagued by systematic errors that can have devastating
consequences. Previous research has found that such errors can be partly prevented by …

A hallmark of human intelligence is the ability to plan multiple steps into the future,. Despite
decades of research,–, it is still debated whether skilled decision-makers plan more steps …

Decisions in the natural world are rarely made in isolation. Each action that an organism
selects will affect the future situations in which it finds itself, and those situations will in turn …

Planning methods can solve temporally extended sequential decision making problems by
composing simple behaviors. However, planning requires suitable abstractions for the states …

Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled machines to plan in tasks
previously thought to be uniquely human. Meanwhile, the planning algorithms implemented …
