Assignment 4


Due Date: March 1, 2016

Psychology 120


Write a one-page summary of the paper “Human mate choice is a complex system.”

Your summary should include the following sections:

1. The Problem: What is the question or problem that the authors are trying to answer?  What is the evidence for this problem?

2. Agent-Based Simulation: Outline the agent-based simulation the authors developed including a description of the decision rules for choosing another agent for a “date”.

3. Main Results: What were the main results?

4. Discussion: What were the important conclusion?

You can work with others in addressing these questions, but the review must be in your own words.  Include your name in the name of the file.  For example, I would send in a review with the file name  “Assignment_4_Jeff_Schank.doc” (docx is ok too).  To write a review requires at least a page single spaced because each section requires about a paragraph to answer.  Carefully proof read your review so that it reads well.  Use this word template to write your review.  Send your review to kyllin@ucdavis.edu and jcschank@ucdavis.edu.
