Abstract
This paper studies the evolution of the perceptions of players about
the game they are involved in using the framework of hypergame
theory. The focus is on developing methods that players can
implement to modify their perception about other players' payoffs by
incorporating the lessons learned from observing their actions. We
introduce a misperception function that measures the mismatch
between a player's perception and the true payoff structure of the
other players. Our first update mechanism, called swap learning
method, is guaranteed to decrease the value of the misperception
function but in general can lead to inconsistencies in the stability
properties of the resulting perception. This motivates the
introduction of a second mechanism, called modified swap update
method, that is guaranteed to produce a consistent
perception. Finally, we identify a class of hypergames for which the
modified strategy is also guaranteed to decrease the misperception
function.
