Types of inferences people are capable of making about other people and their analogous decision net inferences. Inferences marked with an asterisk (*) are explored in the experiments reported in this paper.

	Inference	Decision net analogue
*	Predicting someone's choice	Inferring the value of a choice node
	Predicting how satisfied someone will be	Inferring the value of a utility node
	Learning what someone believes about a state of the world	Inferring the value of a world event node
*	Learning whether someone can observe a state of the world	Inferring which knowledge edges exist
*	Learning what factors someone cares about	Inferring which value edges exist
*	Learning what someone believes about causal dependencies in the world	Inferring which causal edges exist
	Learning what someone believes about the strength of causal dependencies in the world	Inferring the parameters of a CPD
	Learning how someone weights different factors when making choices	Inferring the parameters of a utility function
