Now play ten bouts of playing Defect. In each of the ten bouts, hit the Defect button. Record your score as well as that of the computer program.

Question 2. What score did you receive? What score did the computer receive? Compare your scores to those for Question 1.

Question 3. Based on your answers to Questions 1 and 2, which is the better strategy: Cooperate or Defect?

Part II: Repeated Prisoners Dilemma

A critical feature of the early versions of the prisoners dilemma was that the players faced one another only once. Given that the opponents had no prospect of meeting up again, it did not pay to cooperate. What if players did play multiple bouts of a prisoners dilemma game? Would repeated rounds with the same players make cooperation a more profitable strategy?

To explore these questions, you will now play against the same opponent (played by the computer) for ten rounds. This player will have knowledge of the past moves you have made as well its own.

Check the box that says Same Opponent each round.

First, try ten bouts of playing Cooperate. In each of ten bouts, hit the Cooperate button. Record your score as well as that of the computer program.

Question 4. What score did you receive? What score did the computer receive?

Now play ten bouts of playing Defect. In each of the ten bouts, hit the Defect button. Record your score as well as that of the computer program.

Question 5. What score did you receive? What score did the computer receive? Compare your scores to those for Question 1?

Question 6. Based on your answers to Questions 4 and 5, which is the better strategy: Cooperate or Defect?

Question 7. Which strategies work best?

Question 8. Can you judge what strategy the computer is playing?
