Reflexive Theory of Mind Reasoning in Games

Explore a comprehensive lecture on reflexive theory of mind reasoning in games, delivered by Prof. Jun Zhang from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Delve into the concept of Theory-of-Mind (ToM) and its application in game-theoretic settings, challenging traditional analysis of rational behavior in games of complete information. Examine the proposed mental model account of ToM reasoning through a series of two-player, sequential-move matrix games. Discover empirical findings supporting the distinction between depth of ToM recursion and instrumental rationality. Learn about cooperative solutions, three-step games, and sequential move games. Analyze data, response times, and statistics related to the study. Gain insights into the learning curve associated with ToM reasoning in strategic interactions.
