Computing Optimal Sub-Goals
Breaking a goal into small, manageable parts can be an effective strategy to help people achieve their goals. However, deciding how to divide a goal into smaller subgoals can be nearly as challenging as achieving the goal directly. We have developed a computational method for computing optimal subgoals for human problem-solving [
] based on resource-rational models of human goal-pursuit [
]. We also evaluated whether a similar method could be used to help people set personal goals [
].
Breaking a goal into small, manageable parts can be an effective strategy to help people achieve their goals. However, deciding how to divide a goal into smaller subgoals can be nearly as challenging as achieving the goal directly.
In this project, we investigate how people set subgoals and use a computational model of goal pursuit [See also: computational modeling of goal pursuit] to compute optimal subgoals that help people achieve their goals.
