2022, Computers and Industrial EngineeringCitation Excerpt :This concept enables an individual to learn collective behaviors from surrounding via imitation, enhancement and conditioning (Bond & Titus, 1983; Heyes et al., 2000; Young, 2009; Zentall, 2001). Social learning can accelerate the learning rate of an individual without incurring excessive computational cost due to individual trial and error (Lefebvre, 1995). The explorative characteristic of conventional TLBO is emphasized via Eq. (4) by repelling the n-th learner away from an inferior peer during learner phase.

2019, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :This behaviour was recorded increasingly often and across an increasingly wide geographical area, and persisted for more than 20 years (Fisher & Hinde, 1949; Hinde & Fisher, 1951, 1972). This led to the suggestion that this innovation had spread and established to form a new culture (Lefebvre, 1995). While the underlying learning mechanisms were challenged in later captive experiments (Kothbauer-Hellman, 1990; Sherry & Galef, 1984, 1990), recent studies have provided experimental evidence in captivity (Aplin, Sheldon, & Morand-Ferron, 2013) and in the wild (Aplin et al., 2015a, 2015b) to demonstrate that these species can socially learn new foraging techniques and can transmit novel behaviours through social networks that will then go on to establish and persist as stable traditions.
