Simulations have become a common tool to study the implications of theoretical models. In addition, computational approaches are frequently used in statistics to adapt models to reality. We aim to merge these approaches. To obtain robust results with significant validity from simulations,...

In this paper it is argued that whether cooperation is established in a prisoner's dilemma-like situation is determined by cognitive learning processes. To prove this claim a simulation model is build. This model is based on knowledge about the cognitive learning process that has been gained in...
