在三个实验中，我们研究了战略复杂性（即归纳推理、迭代主导和 k 级思维）在多大程度上是由更广泛的认知技能决定的。在第一个实验中，我们复制了先前的结果，显示在迭代优势游戏中认知能力和复杂性之间存在很强的关联，并表明在需要归纳的游戏中也会出现类似的结果。在后两个实验中，我们将文献扩展到新的方向。在实验 2 中，我们修改了游戏，以更好地捕捉参与者的归纳推理能力并预测他人的复杂程度，并再次发现使用常见智商测试测量的认知能力与复杂程度之间存在很强的关联。在实验 3 中，我们更仔细地研究了认知能力和复杂性之间关系的因果关系。我们使用认知心理学的标准工具来随机冲击参与者的认知能力，并表明这会显着影响游戏表现。 (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
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 and show that similar results arise in a game requiring induction. In the second two experiments we extend the literature in new directions. In Experiment 2 we modify the games to better capture participants' ability to reason inductively and predict the sophistication of others and, again, find strong associations between cognitive ability, measured using a common IQ test, and sophistication. In Experiment 3 we examine more closely the causal nature of the relationship between cognitive ability and sophistication. We use a standard tool from cognitive psychology to randomly shock the cognitive ability of participants and show that this significantly affects game performance. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.
