Event timing and interventions are important and intertwined cues to causal structure, yet they have typically been studied separately. We bring them together for the first time in an ex- periment where participants learn causal structure by performing interventions in continuous time. We contrast learning in acyclic and cyclic devices, with reliable and unreliable cause{\textendash} effect delays. We show that successful learners use interventions to structure and simplify their interactions with the de- vices and that we can capture judgment patterns with heuristics based on online construction and testing of a single structural hypothesis.
