Cognitive success and exam preparation
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 20 (1):72-73 (1997)
| Abstract | Evolution is not like an exam in which pre-set problems need to be solved. Failing to recognise this point, Clark & Thornton misconstrue the type of explanation called for in species learning although, clearly, species that can trade spaces have more chances to discover novel beneficial behaviours. On the other hand, the trading spaces strategy might help to explain lifetime learning successes. | |||||||||
