Heuristic pruning of decision trees at low probabilities and probability discounting in sequential planning in young and older adults

Abstract When planning an action sequence, it has been shown that humans prune decision trees to reduce computational complexity, instead of considering all possible options. However, little is understood about pruning employed in probabilistic environments, where actions result in multiple outcomes...
