Tit-for-tat or win-stay, lose-shift?

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Aug 2007

Imhof Lorens A, Fudenberg Drew, Nowak Martin A

Abstract excerpt

The repeated Prisoner's Dilemma is usually known as a story of tit-for-tat (TFT). This remarkable strategy has won both of Robert Axelrod's tournaments. TFT does whatever the opponent has done in the previous round. It will cooperate if the opponent has cooperated, and it will defect if the opponent has defected. But TFT has two weaknesses: (i) it cannot correct mistakes (erroneous moves) and (ii) a population of...
