Disjunction Effect in Prisoners Dilemma : Evidences from an Eye-tracking Study

The paper presents an eye-tracking study of the decision making processes leading to the disjunction effect in Prisoners Dilemma games. The experimental results suggest a different information acquisition pattern between the situations in which the move of the opponent is known and not known, respectively. The result is consistent with a complexity based explanation of the problem.
