How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Born to Learn: the Inspiration, Progress, and Future of Evolved Plastic Artificial Neural Networks (2017, background): “EPANNs may learn both from the environment and from other individuals, from scratch or incrementally (Offerman and Sonnemans, 1998).”
Imitative and Direct Learning as Interacting Factors in Life History Evolution (2017, background): “as well as by direct experience across a wide variety of tasks [63, 67, 70, 87], and there is evidence that”
The evolution of prestige: freely conferred deference as a mechanism for enhancing the benefits of cultural transmission. (2001, background): “Similarly, Offerman and Sonnemans (1998) show that players making investment decisions tended to copy the beliefs of successful investors (based on past performance) about the current state of the environment , even though imitators knew that good investors possessed the same information as they…”
