(7) Theory of moves. The student analyzes the theory of moves (TOM). The student uses the TOM and game theory to analyze conflicts. The student is expected to:
- (A) compare and contrast TOM and game theory;
- (B) explain the rules of TOM;
- (C) describe what is meant by a cyclic game;
- (D) use a game tree to analyze a two-person game;
- (E) determine the effect of approaching Prisoners' Dilemma and chicken from the standpoint of TOM and contrast that to the effect of approaching them from the standpoint of game theory;
- (F) describe the use of TOM in a larger, more complicated game; and
- (G) model a conflict from literature or from a real-life situation as a two-by-two strict ordinal game and compare the results predicted by game theory and by TOM.
