Game-changing study reveals key to successful group coordination and efficiency
The researchers conducted an experiment on a game where players need a critical mass to get a positive payoff. They found that when players have full information about others' choices, they tend to pick the most beneficial option. Groups also showed a pattern of gradually moving towards the best outcome. Additionally, when payoffs kept increasing with more players choosing the same option, coordination happened more quickly and frequently. Successful coordination relied on players signaling their choice to others.
