Human Adults and LLMs as Scientists: Who Benefits from Active Exploration?

arXiv cs.AI · 2026-06-08 Cached

This study examines whether active exploration helps adults overcome the 'conjunctive handicap' in causal reasoning, comparing human performance to LLMs in a blicket detector task. Results show that active exploration improves conjunctive reasoning in adults, though some gaps remain, and LLMs approach human accuracy but explore less efficiently.
