Project description
Prisoner's dilemma is a game that has been used within the behavioral biology course. We have chosen a setting that students know: joint cooking in a student house. All players can be analyzed which strategy they have chosen (always / never cooperate) and which strategy was the most successful. This analysis can be used by the Behavioral Biology teacher to make comparisons with situations in groups of living animal species.
