Citations in the corpus
- The neuroscience of learning: beyond the Hebbian synapse. (2013, background): “Framing learning problems as computational problems leads to the postulation of domain-specific learning mechanisms (Chomsky 1975, Gallistel 1999) because no general-purpose computation could serve the demands of all types of learning.”
- Neurocognitive Adaptations Designed for Social Exchange. (2015, background): “None of these dissociations within the realm of permission rules are predicted by permission schema theory.”
- An Evolutionarily Informed Education Science (2008, background): “humans and requires an extended developmental period, in comparison with the more rapid learning that occurs in species that occupy a more narrow range of physical ecologies (Gallistel, 2000).”
- Do Some Taxa Have Better Domain-General Cognition than others? A Meta-Analysis of Nonhuman Primate Studies (2006, background): “The fact that some genera perform better than others across a range of paradigms challenges current thinking that taxonomic difference in cognitive abilities are manifest only in specific contexts (e.g., Tooby & Cosmides, 1992; Shettleworth, 1998; Gallistel, 2000).”
- The Innate Mind: Structure and Contents (2005, background): “Gallistel (2000), for instance, has attempted to study nativism (along with other issues such as computation and modularity) in circumscribed domains encountered by simpler organisms.”
- Language and Other Cognitive Systems. What Is Special About Language? (2011, background): “Randy Gallistel (2000) has observed that the biological norm is modular systems with special growth/learning mechanisms in different domains and in different species.”
- Protecting against evaluation overfitting in empirical reinforcement learning (2011, background): “learning process in the brain “is equivalent to assuming that there is a general purpose sensory organ, which solves the problem of sensing” [28].”
