New study reveals key to optimal decision-making in strategic games.
The article discusses different ways players can make decisions in games. Some strategies require players to believe their opponents are acting optimally, while others focus on making the best move at each stage of the game. The researchers introduce two types of restrictions: consistency conditions ensure beliefs and actions align, while sequential rationality requires players to make the best move at every point in the game. By applying these restrictions, the researchers define different levels of rationality in decision-making during games.
