In common-interest spatial-dispersion games the agents' common goal is to choose distinct locations. We experimentally investigate the role of cognition in such games and compare it with the role of cognition in spatial matching games. In our setup cognition matters because agents may be...

As documented in the dynamics and outcomes, agents learn to attach meaning to a priori meaningless messages. For the common interest game, Game 1, this chapter observe the efficient separating outcome, although the learning process is gradual. For the partial common interest game, Game 2, the...

We experimentally investigate coordination games in which cognition plays an important role, i.e., where outcomes are affected by the agents level of understanding of the game and the beliefs they form about each others' understanding. We ask whether and when repeated exposure permits agents to...
