Old ideas, new mistakes: All learning is relational
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 20 (1):79-80 (1997)
Abstract
Learning is the acquisition of knowledge, not of input/output mappings. The distinction between statistical and relational learning, as Clark & Thornton define those terms, is not useful because all human learning is relational. However, prior knowledge does influence later learning and the sequence in which learning tasks are encountered is indeed crucial. Simulations of sequence effects would be interesting.DOI
