TL;DR: This paper identified the major determinants that seem to affect the incidence, and/or emergence, of coordination failure in the lab and reviewed the existing experimental studies on coordination games with Pareto-ranked equilibria.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted experiments on a set of well-known games whose solution concepts require the application of some paradigmatic forms of strategic reasoning, such as iterated dominance and backward induction, to detect the presence of a correlation between individuals' behavior in the games and their short-term memory score.

TL;DR: In this paper, the power of precedent transfer as an equilibrium selection principle in the minimum effort game was considered and it was shown that groups of players are able to transfer efficient historical precedents to the minimum-effort game.

TL;DR: The authors discusses a selected body of (mainly experimental) studies on consumer behavior in the light of two general questions: 1) can one identify within the vast literature from psychology, marketing, etc., a few stylized facts which might be the grounds of a behavioral theory of consumption parsimonious enough to be useful to economic theorizing, and, at the same time, not in open violation of the evidence on how consumers actually behave?

TL;DR: It is submitted that the relational structure of players' preferences in a game is a source of cognitive complexity, and may be an important driver of such simplifications in players' mental models of strategic decisions.
