Abstract :
This paper presents the architecture of a multiagent society (MAS) designed to study the dynamics of belief change in natural and artificial societies. It also presents a multiagent domain called Multiagent Wumpus World (MWW) designed to test the capabilities of the proposed MAS. It also reports on a set of experiments designed to study the formation of false social beliefs. Our results indicate that more false beliefs are likely to be generated about objects/events whose presence is harder to confirm or disconfirm
