Chicken Game task TASK
Unreviewed

The game of chicken, also known as the hawk-dove game or snowdrift game, is a model of conflict for two players in game theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_(game)). Two players drive cars towards each other, the player turning loses and if none of them swerve, there is a car crash. The outcome of the Chicken Game is determined by both players’ decisions. From one person’s perspective, unilateral defection and mutual cooperation represent the best and second-best outcomes. Cooperation is preferable to defection if the other defects because mutual defection is worse than the benefit of unilateral cooperation, each payoff corresponding to different outcomes of the social interaction (Hernandez-Pena, et al., 2023)

CONDITIONS

Experimental conditions are the subsets of an experiment that define the relevant experimental manipulation.

CONTRASTS

You must specify conditions before you can define contrasts.


In the Cognitive Atlas, we define a contrast as any function over experimental conditions. The simplest contrast is the indicator value for a specific condition; more complex contrasts include linear or nonlinear functions of the indicator across different experimental conditions.

INDICATORS

No indicators have yet been associated.

An indicator is a specific quantitative or qualitative variable that is recorded for analysis. These may include behavioral variables (such as response time, accuracy, or other measures of performance) or physiological variables (including genetics, psychophysiology, or brain imaging data).
