Components of change in the evolution of learning and unlearned preference

AS Dunlap, DW Stephens - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2009 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Several phenomena in animal learning seem to call for evolutionary explanations, such as
patterns of what animals learn and do not learn. While several models consider how
evolution should influence learning, we have very little data testing these models. Theorists
agree that environmental change is a central factor in the evolution of learning. We describe
a mathematical model and an experiment, testing two components of change: reliability of
experience and predictability of the best action. Using replicate populations of Drosophila …
