Learning through reinforcement and replicator dynamics
Article Abstract:
A learning model in the context of game theory, under a continuous time limit, converges at the replicator dynamics but decision maker may also deviate from maximizing payoffs. The model provides a non-deterministic interpretation of learning behavior with the result referring to finite points in time. The level of aspiration, to which pay-off rewards and the extent of the effect of habit-formation are compared with when making choices, is also assumed exogenous and fixed at zero.

Decision rules with bounded memory
Article Abstract:
A model is examined with limited memory assumed for decision-makers. The maxmin strategy tends to be selected due to memory characteristics of the decision maker.
