Learn Before
Measuring the Relationship Between Collective Intelligence and Speed of Learning
To assess group learning speed, each person in a group was required to select a number from five options. Peoples' points were determined by their choice and the choices made by other group members, guided by a "payoff matrix." Unlike the prisoner's dilemma, this game encouraged cooperation rather than competition. While most groups initially struggled, those with higher collective intelligence showed a faster learning curve over ten rounds. They became better at implicitly coordinating their choices based on past rounds, resulting in significantly higher point totals compared to other groups. Thus, groups with greater collective intelligence demonstrated the ability to learn faster, as indicated by this task.
