Applying self-directed anticipative learning to science I: Agency, error, and the interactive exploration of possibility space in early ape-langugae research

摘要: The purpose of this paper and its sister (Farrell Hooker, b) is to present, evaluate elaborate a proposed new model for the process scientific development: self-directed anticipative learning (SDAL). vehicle evaluation analysis well-known historical episode: development ape-language research. In first we outline five prominent features SDAL that will need be realized in applying science: 1) interactive exploration possibility space; 2) self-directedness; 3) localization success error; 4) Synergistic increase capacity; 5) continuity across change. examine three relation early history We show readily explicated as self-directed, ever-finer, delineation space enables both error. Paper II examines last two against this...
