摘要: This paper synthesizes findings from an ongoing research program on learning in signaling games. The present focuses crossgame (the ability of subjects to take what has been learned one game and generalize it related games), issue that ignored most the literature. We begin by laying out basic experimental design recapitulating early results characterizing process. then report initial experiment which we find a surprising degree positive cross-game learning, contrary predictions commonly employed models cognitive psychologists. next explore two features environment help explain when why this transfer occurs. First, examine effects
