  • 1 minute exploration time
  • single click

Parallel decisions

  • engage or not
  • click or not

Errors

  • Type I: mistake an object for the partner
  • Type II: mistake partner for an object

Building the model

1. Modelling an encounter

Alice comes across Bob

Bob \ Alice Interact less Interact more
Interact less ρLL ρML
Interact more ρLM ρMM

(1-α) ρLL + α ρLM

(1-α) ρML + α ρMM
