Structurally guided task decomposition in spatial navigation tasks

How are people able to plan so efficiently despite limited cognitive
resources? We aimed to answer this question by extending an existing model of
human task decomposition that can explain a wide range of simple planning
problems by adding structure information to the task to facilitate planning in
more complex tasks. The extended model was then applied to a more complex
planning domain of spatial navigation. Our results suggest that our framework
can correctly predict the navigation strategies of the majority of the
participants in an online experiment.
