摘要
The Naming Game (NG) describes the emergence of conventions and shared lexicons in a population of agents interacting in a pairwise fashion. In this work, we introduce a new yet simple speakers’ rule into a minimal Naming Game where the speaker is more likely to choose the successful word in her earlier history and to convey it to the hearer. We find that the convergence time decreases with the increasing weight of successful words, which indicates that preferential selection of successful words may accelerate the reaching of consensus.
