We hypothesized, on the basis of the aforementioned computational considerations and our previous results in humans [12], [13], that if the animals unknowingly learned informative object fragments during the training of learning the whole objects, then the animals must be able to perform the categorization task using the individual Main fragments, but not the Control fragments.
We found that human subjects acquire informative fragments implicitly during the course of learning categories using whole objects.
We have previously offered a detailed explanation of the implications of fragment-based category learning [12], [13].
Additionally, although homology search (e.g., best BLAST hit) can be a poor surrogate for the taxonomic identity of a given fragment, learning the most probable functional role of an encoded gene can help to provide a measure of confidence in the predicted assignment.
First, it provides additional behavioral confirmation, in macaque monkeys, of our previous human psychophysical finding that informative fragments are learned during category learning.
Arguably, the students were drawing on fragments of what they had learned in class somewhere — didn't Earth's orbit form an ellipse around the sun? — instead of what they could perceive themselves, as the seasons changed.
The business is fragmenting vertically and learning how to compete.
The unusual behavior described in this sleepwalking patient reflected obvious and accurate re-enactment of a short fragment of the recently learned sequence of movements (as later confirmed by the independent judges, see below).
In "The Lost Carving" he describes analyzing photographs and singed fragments of the room and learning to sand with bits of a scratchy wetlands plant called Dutch rush.
Fragments of other bird vocalisations are learned, perfected and inserted into their wild free-form performance.
