The investigators will combine approaches from economics, decision science, and cognitive neuroscience. The goal is to develop a system to measure how well different people reason in strategic social situations, and to explore how specific parts of the brain may be involved in strategic decision making.The investigators plan to develop a measure to summarize how specific individuals perform in a set of strategic tasks conducted in a laboratory environment. They will administer these tasks -- eg, test "strategic IQ" --to individuals in separate groups with distinct characteristics. Three groups are made up of people who we might expect to be especially good at strategic thinking: mathematically gifted undergraduate students, students trained in the formal analysis of strategic thinking (game theory), and experienced business managers. The fifth group are individuals with specialized brain lesions that have specific and well-documented effects on cognition.Data from all groups will be combined to test a new theory developed by two of the PIs about how people learn to think strategically. An additional study will involve only members of the fifth group. These individuals will also complete strategic tasks while undergoing fMRI brain imaging scans. The goal is to link evidence about the "games" that these participants play poorly with evidence from brain images, to link specific kinds of errors to specific brain circuits.

研究人员将联合收割机从经济学，决策科学和认知神经科学的方法。 他们的目标是开发一个系统来衡量不同的人在战略性社会情境中的推理能力，并探索大脑的特定部分如何参与战略性决策。研究人员计划开发一种衡量标准，以总结特定个体在实验室环境中进行的一系列战略性任务中的表现。 他们将管理这些任务-例如，测试“战略智商”-在不同的群体中的个人具有不同的特点。 有三个群体是由我们认为特别擅长战略思维的人组成的：数学天才的本科生，受过战略思维形式分析（博弈论）训练的学生，以及经验丰富的企业管理者。 第五组是患有特殊脑损伤的个体，这些脑损伤对认知有特定的、有充分证据证明的影响。来自所有组的数据将被结合起来，以测试由两位PI开发的关于人们如何学会战略性思考的新理论。 另一项研究将只涉及第五组的成员。 这些人还将在接受fMRI脑成像扫描的同时完成战略任务。 目标是将这些参与者玩得不好的“游戏”的证据与大脑图像的证据联系起来，将特定类型的错误与特定的大脑回路联系起来。
