Variational Auto-Regressive Gaussian Processes for Continual Learning (2020, background): “Continual Learning (CL) is the constant development of complex behaviors by building upon previously acquired skills (Ring, 1994; Thrun, 1998); humans and other animals exhibit knowledge acquisition for continual skill development (Hoppitt & Laland, 2013).”
Observational social learning and socially induced practice of routine skills in immature wild orang-utans (2016, background): “Observational social learning (learning by observing others) includes some forms of stimulus enhancement as well as imitation, emulation or observational conditioning (Hoppitt & Laland, 2013; Tomasello, 1994; van Schaik, 2010).”
Adolescent risk-taking in the context of exploration and social influence (2021, background): “Generally, studies from across the biological and social sciences suggest that people use social information strategically; they are selective as to who they turn to for useful knowledge (Hoppitt & Laland, 2013).”
The extended evolutionary synthesis: its structure, assumptions and predictions (2015, background): “Other types of bias may also affect variation and selection, such as systematic biases in mutation [25,116,117,119–121], or other historical contingencies, such as learned traditions [66,73].”
