人们普遍认为，误解是有害的。然而，从集体的角度来看，当个体错误地接受促进特定行为的信息时，错误感知可能会产生有益的影响，这会导致多样性的增加。首先，本文在讨论错误知觉与行为多样性的关系以及沟通对多样性的影响的基础上，提出了错误知觉的适应性假设。然后，一个简单的计算模型，建立了一个资源搜索问题，使用多智能体建模方法。我们调查直接的错误知觉，这是直接从周围环境中获得信息时造成的，和间接的错误知觉，这是通过进行模拟实验间接获得信息时造成的。实验结果表明，错误感知可以增加Agent行为的多样性，从而可以自适应，而准确的通信可以减少Agent行为的多样性，这可能会降低适应度。本文还讨论了直接错误知觉与间接错误知觉之间的相关关系。我们相信，基于复杂系统或人工生命领域的一种创新的参照系和一种强有力的方法论，对错误知觉的适应性进行研究，将有助于揭示认知科学、模因学和工程学的基本问题。
It is commonly agreed upon that misperception is detrimental. However, misperception might have a beneficial effect from a collective viewpoint when individuals mis-percept incoming information that promotes a specific kind of behavior, which leads to an increase in diversity. First, this paper proposes our hypothesis regarding adaptive property of misperception based on the argument of the relationship between misperception and behavioral diversity, and the effects of communication on diversity. Then, a simple computational model is constructed for a resource-searching problem by using the multi-agent modeling method. We investigate both direct misperception, that are caused when obtaining information directly from surrounding environment, and indirect misperception, that are caused when obtaining information indirectly through communication by conducting simulation experiments. The experimental results have shown that misperception could increase diversity in behavior of agents, thus could be adaptive, while accurate communication could decrease a diversity of agent behavior, which might decrease fitness. This paper also discusses a correlative relationship between direct misperception and indirect misperception. We believe that the study on adaptive property of misperception based on an innovative frame of reference and a powerful methodology in the field of complex system or artificial life would shed light on fundamental issues in cognitive science, memetics and engineering.
