Learning by trial and error
A person learns by trial and error if he occasionally tries out new strategies, rejecting choices that are erroneous in the sense that they do not lead to higher payoffs. In a game, however, strategies can become erroneous due to a change of behavior by someone else. Such passive errors may also trigger a search for new and better strategies, but the nature of the search is different than when ...
متن کاملSerial learning by rhesus monkeys: II. Learning four-item lists by trial and error.
Three rhesus macaque monkeys were trained to produce novel 4-item lists (A-->B-->C-->D) on which all items were displayed from the start of training. Subjects were previously trained to produce 4-item lists by adding one item at a time (A, A-->B, A-->B-->C, and A-->B-->C-->D; lists K. B. Swartz et al., 1991). Those lists could be mastered by responding to each new item last. To learn lists on w...
متن کاملBayesian Logic and Trial-by-Trial Learning
Standard logic and probability theory are both beset with fundamental problems if used as adequacy criteria for relating logical propositions to learning data. We discuss the problems of exception, of sample size, and of inclusion. Bayesian pattern logic (‘Bayesian logic’ or BL for short) has been proposed as a possible rational resolution of these problems. BL can also be taken as psychologica...
متن کاملContrasting object-based and texture-based accounts of same/different discrimination learning with trial-unique stimuli.
Same/different discrimination is a classic task for investigating relational learning in animals. Recent research suggests that pigeons can learn a trial-unique same/different discrimination, which eliminates the opportunity to memorize the training items (Brooks & Wasserman, 2008). The authors conducted three tests to elucidate the role that item-based comparison plays in this trial-unique dis...
متن کاملPretraining and discrimination reversal learning by rhesus monkeys
Groups of five to seven macaques were trained on repeated reversals of a visual (or spatial) discrimination habitafter no pretraining, extended discrimination training, or repeated reversal training on spatial (or visual) cues. Neither sortof pretraining had a significant effect on reversal learning on the second cue. These results indicate that monkeys' capacity to develop generalized "win-sta...
