Most theories in the social sciences are verbal and provide ordinal-level predictions for data. For example, a theory might predict that performance is better in one condition than another, but not by how much. One way of gaining additional specificity is to posit many ordinal constraints that hold simultaneously. For example a theory might predict an effect in one condition, a larger effect in another, and none in a third. We show how common theoretical positions naturally lead to multiple ordinal constraints. To assess whether multiple ordinal constraints hold in data, we adopt a Bayesian model comparison approach. The result is an inferential system that is custom-tuned for the way social scientists conceptualize theory, and that is more intuitive and informative than current linear-model approaches.

How do people generalize and explore structured spaces? We study human behavior on a multi-armed bandit task, where rewards are influenced by the connectivity structure of a graph. A detailed predictive model comparison shows that a Gaussian Process regression model using a diffusion kernel is able to best describe participant choices, and also predict judgments about expected reward and confidence. This model unifies psychological models of function learning with the Successor Representation used in reinforcement learning, thereby building a bridge between different models of generalization.
