Here we investigate three factors affecting the extent to which plastic traits are fixed by selection: (i) the difficulty with which traits can be acquired through plasticity, (ii) the importance of traits …

At the end of the nineteenth century, however, several evolutionary theorists independently speculated that learned behaviors could also affect the direction and rate of evolutionary …

2024年5月24日 · Baldwin Effect: Baldwin proposed that individual learning can explain evolutionary phenomena that appear to require Lamarckian inheritance of acquired …

The Baldwin effect came to the attention of computer scientists with the work of Hinton and Nowlan (1987). The Baldwin effect may arise in evolutionary computation when a genetic …

2011年12月25日 · This hypothesis of Mark Baldwin, known in the literature as the Baldwin effect (Simpson 1953) has spurred numerous theoretical studies whose general approach is to …

2025年3月25日 · Originally called organic evolution by Baldwin, it proposes that acquired behavioural traits, such as a thrush learning to smash a snail against a rock, can be …

2018年9月4日 · We propose a novel population genetics model of the Baldwin Effect. First, the impact of a kind of learning process motivated by motor babbling, in the developmental …

Developmental limits restrict adaptive plasticity. Distributed Adaptations: Can a Species Be Adapted While No Single Individual Carries the Adaptation?

I here define both the Baldwin effect and genetic assimilation in terms of genetic accommodation, describe cases in which either should occur in nature, and propose that each could play a role …

2018年12月1日 · In the Baldwin Effect, the idea is an animal learns some skills, which later become innate or partially innate. This superficially sounds Lamarckian but still can fit into a …
