The design of adaptive systems: optimal parameters for variation and selection in learning and development.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Jan 1997

Frank S A

Abstract excerpt

Some aspects of learning and development are based on evolutionary change within the organism. In trial and error learning, variant ideas or behaviors are generated and selective filters (learning rules) choose among the population of variants. Development may, in some cases, proceed by selection within a population of variant cellular lineages. This paper analyses abstract properties of selective systems to...
