Big Ideas
  • The outcomes of strategic games like Prisoners' Dilemma and chicken can change depending on whether they are analyzed through TOM or traditional game theory.
  • The perspective or approach (TOM vs. game theory) affects the conclusions and strategies available in decision-making scenarios.
Essential Questions
  • How does the theory of moves (TOM) differ from traditional game theory when applied to strategic games?
  • In what ways do the outcomes of Prisoners' Dilemma and chicken change when analyzed using TOM?
  • Why does the perspective (TOM vs. game theory) matter in analyzing conflicts?
  • How can contrasting TOM and game theory deepen our understanding of game outcomes and decision-making?
  • What are some real-life situations where the choice of analytic model affects the outcome?
