A Neural Network model of Cultural Evolution
Kingsley J. A. Cox, Paul R. Adams
It has been proposed (Richerson and Boyd, 2008) that human intelligence is underpinned by a ratchet-like process called Cultural Evolution in which ideas, originated by individuals…
Shedding light on social learning
Kingsley J. A. Cox, Paul R. Adams
Culture involves the origination and transmission of ideas, but the conditions in which culture can emerge and evolve are unclear. We constructed and studied a highly simplified ne…
A Minimal Model of the Interaction of Social and Individual learning
Kingsley Cox, Paul Adams
Social, supervised, learning from others might amplify individual, possibly unsupervised, learning by individuals, and might underlie the development and evolution of culture. We s…
Hebbian Crosstalk and Input Segregation
Anca Radulescu, Paul Adams
Purpose: We previously proposed that Hebbian adjustments that are incompletely synapse specific ("crosstalk") might be analogous to genetic mutations. We analyze aspects of the eff…
Hocus-Socus: An Error Catastrophe for Complex Hebbian Learning Implies Neocortical Proofreading
Kingsley J. A. Cox, Paul R. Adams
The neocortex is widely believed to be the seat of intelligence and "mind". However, it's unclear what "mind" is, or how the special features of neocortex enable it, though likely…
Hebbian Crosstalk Prevents Nonlinear Unsupervised Learning
Kingsley J. A. Cox, Paul R. Adams
Learning is thought to occur by localized, experience-induced changes in the strength of synaptic connections between neurons. Recent work has shown that activity-dependent changes…
