The converse finding, that social learning is not involved in generating option biases in unsuccessful manipulations of the tasks, is consistent with the idea that animals may distinguish between functionally relevant and irrelevant information, or rewarded and unrewarded information, and preferentially learn about the former [e.g. chimpanzees], [33, 34].
In some species, individuals preferentially learned socially from successful models (Schwab et al. 2008; Duffy et al. 2009).
Boyd and Richerson (1985) modelled conformist cultural transmission (preferentially adopting the majority behaviour in the population) and model-based cultural transmission (preferentially learning from particularly high status or prestigious individuals), which again have no clear parallel in biological evolution.
First, it is not necessary to preferentially strengthen learning content concerning the topic area of "Human Health".
The HARBS conformers may also preferentially promote learning and memory processes (Rose et al., 2005).
In this study, we used affiliative behaviour as a proxy for learning opportunity, assuming that individuals learn preferentially from conspecifics with whom they spent more time in close proximity and interact affiliatively.
A robust form of memory in flies is courtship conditioning, whereby naive males learn to preferentially court receptive virgin females after experiencing unsuccessful courtship of already mated (and therefore unreceptive) females.
These findings suggest that, in this paradigm, SKF-38393 locally applied to the auditory cortex preferentially improves learning of aspects of the conditioned stimuli that are related to the differences in the directions of the frequency modulations, that is, aspects required for discriminating the conditioned stimuli and/or for associating them with their meanings.
Students indicated that they would preferentially choose a web-based format to learn the material in each module (>75% for Modules 1 3; 63% for Module 4) with the majority of remaining students preferring small groups.
"There is still a great deal that we need to learn about which parts of the brain preferentially are affected by exercise" in animals or people with attention deficits, said Andrea Robinson, a doctoral student at Dartmouth who conducted the rat experiments.
JFA is trained in advance on a large annotated collection of audio files to learn the channel subspace (the basis over which Z preferentially varies when the same speaker's voice is presented over different channels) and the speaker subspace (the basis over which Z preferentially varies when different speakers are presented over the same channel).
