Higher-order adaptive behaviors outperform pairwise strategies in mitigating contagion dynamics When exposed to a contagion phenomenon, individuals may respond to the perceived risk of infection by adopting behavioral changes, aiming to reduce their exposure or their risk of infecting others. Th...
