We examine a model of human causal cognition, which generally deviates from normative systems such as classical logic and probability theory. For two-armed bandit problems, we demonstrate the efficacy of our loosely symmetric model (LS) and its implementation of two cognitive biases peculiar to humans: symmetry and mutual exclusivity. Specifically, we useLSas a simple value function within the framework of reinforcement learning. The resulting cognitively biased valuations precisely describe human causal intuitions. We further show that operatingLSunder the simplest greedy policy yields superior reliability and robustness, even managing to overcome the usual speed-accuracy trade-off, and effectively removing the need for parameter tuning.
