[Game behavior depending on "kind of information" and "degree of risk" in an alternating-sequential 2 x 2 game (author's transl)].

By an alternating-sequential 2 x 2-game behavior is analysed in dependence of eye contact, feedback about the score of the partner and the degree of risk. The dependent variables are 'need of information' and 'readiness for cooperation' score. The data of 48 university students are analysed by means of Analysis of Variance. They yield evidence for the hypotheses that 'need for information' and 'readiness for cooperation' is determined by all experimental variables, especially by 'eye contact'. The results are discussed in relation to models of thinking and problem solving.

[Predictive value of cognitive variables for the information utilization process].

Sequential predictive behaviour is used to analyse human problem solving. The most predictive and discriminative variables regarding the observable information reducing phases of the problem solving process are variables of cognitive complexity. The same holds for variables of cognitive flexibility regarding the information generating phase. Empirical evidence with respect to the thereby occurring interaction between the heuristic and epistemic part of the cognitive structure is yielded.
