Optimal Foraging Theory And The Psychology Of Learning, Alan Kamil

Avian Cognition Papers

The development of optimization theory has made important contributions to the study of animal behavior. But the optimization approach needs to be integrated with other methods of ethology and psychology. For example, the ability to learn is an important component of efficient foraging behavior in many species, and the psychology of animal learning could contribute substantially to testing and extending the predictions of optimal foraging theory.

Age Differences In Hypothesis Testing And Frequency Processing In Concept Learning, Ronald Thomas Kellogg

Psychological Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Two types of processes, controlled hypothesis testing and automatic frequency processing, have been posited to explain concept learning. The present study employed a concept-identification task to compare fifth-graders, college students, and elderly adults in their ability to test hypotheses and compile feature frequency information. College students proved superior in both their efficiency of selecting the correct hypothesis and their accuracy of recalling sampled hypotheses, and fifth-graders and elderly adults performed about the same on these measures of hypothesis-testing ability. Ability to estimate feature frequencies followed the same developmental pattern. The results support the view that hypothesis testing is an effortful, …

The Utilization Of Communicational Cues By One- And Two-Year-Old Children, Rhianon Allen

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

The relationships between three models for describing pragmatic response to utterances were surveyed and the application of these models to young children's response patterns evaluated. Of particular interest was how children might discriminate action-directive and information-testing usage of language.

In order to empirically test the validity of these models, sixteen one- and two-year-old children were visited in their homes. Each child participated in two video recorded play sessions with an experimenter, during which he or she was asked complex What-questions that could take either informational or action responses. Gestural accompaniments and preceding discourse were systematically varied in Experiment I. Each …
