Decision prioritization and causal reasoning in decision hierarchies
Fig 7
Distribution of actions after the query of internal and leaf nodes.
The left column shows the types of action selected after a query of an internal node, and the right column shows those selected after an error at a leaf node. Panels A–H represent different datasets, identified in each panel. We sorted the actions that follow the query of an internal node into 3 categories: on-path queries, off-path queries, and queries that cannot be classified as neither on- nor off-path (‘other’). We sorted the actions that follow an error at a leaf node into 6 categories: choosing the child node that is in the true direction of motion (‘correct child’), the other child node (‘incorrect child’), querying the same node again (‘re-query’), other nodes at the same level excluding re-queries (‘other, same level’), nodes of lower level that are not direct child nodes (‘other, lower level’), and nodes located at higher levels of the decision tree (‘higher level’).
