Cognitive ability and strategic sophistication
In three experiments we examine the extent to which strategic sophistication (i.e., inductive reasoning, iterative dominance and level-k thinking) is determined by broader cognitive skills. In the first experiment we replicate previous results showing strong associations between cognitive ability and sophistication in a game of iterative dominance. We then extend the results to a game requiring...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Strategic Sophistication
Abstract. This paper investigates the evolutionary foundation for our ability to attribute preferences to others, an ability that is central to conventional game theory. We argue here that learning others’ preferences allows individuals to efficiently modify their behavior in strategic environments with a persistent element of novelty. Agents with the ability to learn have a sharp, unambiguous ...
متن کاملOn the persistence of strategic sophistication
We examine whether the ‘Level-k’ model of strategic behavior generates reliable cross-game testable predictions at the level of the individual player. Subjects’ observed levels are fairly consistent within one family of similar games, but within another family of games there is virtually no cross-game correlation. Moreover, the relative ranking of subjects’ levels is not consistent within the s...
متن کاملPolitical Sophistication and Policy Reasoning: A Reconsideration
principles and policy preferences is conditional on political sophistication, dominates the study of public opinion. This article argues that the sophistication-interaction theory does not hold to the degree the consensus claims. Specifically, it challenges the proposition that sophistication promotes the use of domain-specific beliefs and values. Analysis of 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1990 NE...
متن کاملCognitive skills and the development of strategic sophistication ∗
In this paper we investigate how observable cognitive skills influence the development of strategic sophistication. To answer this question, we study experimentally how psychometric measures of theory-of-mind and cognitive ability (or ‘fluid intelligence’) work together with age to determine the strategic ability and level-k behavior of children in a variety of incentivized strategic interactio...
