Comparing Inductions 1 and 2, students in Induction 2 had higher implicit view of math ability scores than students in Induction 1, β = 0.09, p = .039, meaning that being in Induction 2 led to an implicit theory of math ability score that was 0.09 standard deviations higher than being in Induction 1.
In the case just outlined, the numbers produced by the fitness function did not describe the Tadro3s' performance in a neutral and unequivocal way: they depended on an implicit view (i.e., on an implicit theory) of what counts as an efficient feeding behavior.
