Table 1.
Summary of results from testing the three different learning rules together. (The table details the statistical significance of the three learning rules (payoff-based learning, pro-social learning and conditional cooperation) for the three information treatments (black box, standard and enhanced). ✓, estimators significantly support direction of hypothesis in this treatment. ✗, estimators significantly contradict direction of hypothesis in this treatment, n.s., non-significant. The values represent the estimate of the effects of unit changes in the hypothesis-specific predictor variables on the response variable; positive (negative) parameter estimators support (contradict) the respective hypothesis. Table 2 details the regressions fully.)
