Explaining interference effects in prisoner dilemma games
用量子理论数学方法解释囚徒困境中的五种反常现象,包括分离效应、预测对行动的干扰、问题顺序效应和廉价承诺效应,并比较了八种量子模型的解释力。
Abstract This article presents a new approach to understanding strategic decision making inspired by the mathematics of quantum theory. Empirical support for this new approach is based on five different puzzling findings from past work on the prisoner dilemma game including the disjunction effect, the interference of predictions on actions in simultaneous and sequential games, question order effect, and the effects of cheap promises. Eight different quantum models are described, which purport to account for these puzzling findings. The competing models are systematically compared with respect to their capability of accounting for the five empirical findings.
