Abstract

Fungus-eater games yield a class of sequential decision tasks which involve both means objects and end objects in a not-too-unrealistic fashion. Study of human strategies and of the optimal strategies in these games may improve our understanding of complex dynamic decision tasks. The optimal strategy for the fourth fungus-eater game, which depends upon the level of fungus storage, is derived and the behavior of human playing this game is reported.
