Reinforcement learning has proved quite successful in predicting subjects' adjustment behaviour in repeatedly played … simple games. However, reinforcement learning does not predict convergence to the efficient cell in the minimal information … learning rule, a modification of win-stay lose-change, does predict convergence. We perform an experiment using modern economic …

We test whether subjects try to influence those … and that all learning algorithms are subject to exploitation with the notable exception of imitation. The experiment was …
