"Some Thoughts on Games, Decisions, Experiments and Brain Studies"

Prof. Ariel Rubinstein, one of the founders of the study of bounded
rationality, will present his latest work in this fast growing area.
These days, more and more economists question whether people's
economic decision making is really fully "rational". Therefore they
started to abandon the "economic man" paradigm and instead are
increasingly using models that reflect more realistic descriptions of
human behavior.
Prof. Rubinstein will present the experimental study of how the
deliberation process of decision makers is related to the time spent
on making decisions. Lecture audiences and students were asked to
respond to virtual decisions in game situations. Several thousand
observations were collected and the response time for each answer was
recorded. There were significant differences in response time across
responses. Prof. Rubinstein suggests the explanation of these
differences that choices made instinctively, that is, on the basis of
an emotional response, require less response time than choices that
require the use of cognitive reasoning.
