The role of information and replication in selection processes
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (3):538-538 (2001)
| Abstract | Hull et al. argue that information and replication are both essential ingredients in any selection process. But both information and replication are found in only some selection processes, and should not be included in abstract descriptions of selection intended to help researchers discover and describe selection processes in new domains. | |||||||||
