The Computational Challenges of Pursuing Multiple Goals: Network Structure of Goal Systems Predicts Human Performance
The Computational Challenges of Pursuing Multiple Goals: Network Structure of Goal Systems Predicts Human Performance
Extant psychological theories attribute peopleās failure to achieve their goals primarily to failures of self-control, insufficient motivation, or lacking skills. We develop a complementary theory specifying conditions under which the computational complexity of making the right decisions becomes prohibitive of goal achievement regardless of skill or motivation. We support our ā¦
