Born to Learn: the Inspiration, Progress, and Future of Evolved Plastic Artificial Neural Networks (2017, background): “For example, Mayley (1997) investigated the effects of learning on the rate of evolution, showing that a learning process during an individual lifetime, although costly, can improve the speed of evolution of the species.”
Evolving plastic neural networks with novelty search (2010, background): “There is much evidence that evolution and learning are both integral to the success of biological evolution (Mayley, 1997; Nolfi & Floreano, 1999) and that lifetime learning itself can help to guide evolution to higher fitness (Hinton & Nowlan, 1987).”
Behavioural plasticity: an interaction between evolution and experience (2010, methodology): “A similar prediction has been obtained in artificial intelligence models (Belew 1989; Ackley and Littman 1990; Mayley 1997).”
How novelty search escapes the deceptive trap of learning to learn (2009, background): “There is much evidence that both processes are integral to the success of biological evolution [14, 16] and that lifetime learning can itself help to guide evolution to higher fitness [7], which is called the Baldwin Effect.”
The Influence of Learning on Evolution: A Mathematical Framework (2009, background): “Again the hiding effect [22] can be observed.”
Adaptation of Robot Behaviour through Online Evolution and Neuromodulated Learning (2012, background): “There is much evidence that: (i) both processes are integral to the success of evolution in both biological and artificial systems [14, 19], and (ii) that learning can accelerate the evolution of good solutions [9], which is known as the Baldwin effect.”
Influence of Plasticity and Learning on Evolution under Directional Selection (2007, background): “As a consequence, the genetic variation for fitness may become reduced and the response to selection may be slowed down (e.g., Johnston 1982; Gordon 1992; Papaj 1994; Mayley 1997).”
