Thar She Bursts: Reducing Confusion Reduces Bubbles (2012, methodology): “Following and adapting the argumentation of Chou et al. (2009), Oechssler (2010), and Smith (2010), the likely reason for the confusion is that a declining FV-process is not in line with subjects’ past experiences and personal knowledge of real stock markets.”
The first time is the hardest: A test of ordering effects in choice experiments (2012, background): “For example, in the case of public good games, some types of subjects act out of confusion and not kindness (Andreoni 1995) because the fail to understand the incentives, what Chou et al. 2009 denotes ‘failure of game form recognition’.”
Experimenter demand effects in economic experiments (2010, unknown): “Example 2 Chou et al. (2009) did a set of best guessing games experiments, with a standard rule that the winner would be the person guessing closest to 3/ 4o f the average guess by two players.”
Misconceptions and Game Form Recognition: Challenges to Theories of Revealed Preference and Framing (2014, background): “4 Failures of game form recognition have been documented elsewhere in the literature and are known to be a source of anomalies in experimental work ðChou et al. 2009; Rydval, ject’s preference is to choose the oval that produces the most money, but the subject may not understand the relationship…”
