Abstract
The paper presents results of simulations on belief dissemination in an universe where agents are situated on an environment. Contrary to most papers on belief dissemination, we propose that the environment has an impact on the interaction of agents and on their learning. We compare two main ways of learning: when agents can and cannot perceive their environment to change their beliefs. We also consider that agents are heterogeneous in their tendency to follow the beliefs of others.
