Abstract
Methodological Practices differ between economics and psychology because ec onomists use game theory as the basis for the design and interpretation of experiments, while psychologists do not. This methodological choice explain s the "four key variables" stressed by Hertwig and Ortmann. Came theory is currently the most rigorous basis for modeling strategic choice.
