Social learning in insects
Introduction Our understanding of insect learning has changed dramatically in the past few decades and only recently has it become well established that learning affects all major insect activities including feeding, predator avoidance, social interactions and sexual behavior. Whereas we understand individual learning in insects rather well, the role of social learning in this diverse group is ...
متن کاملwillingness to communicate in the iranian context: language learning orientation and social support
why some learners are willing to communicate in english, concurrently others are not, has been an intensive investigation in l2 education. willingness to communicate (wtc) proposed as initiating to communicate while given a choice has recently played a crucial role in l2 learning. it was hypothesized that wtc would be associated with language learning orientations (llos) as well as social suppo...
Efficiency and Task Allocation in Prey Retrieval
ハンター問題としても知られている,獲物検索は集合的ロボットでのテスト 問題として広く使用されている.そのタスクは環境中に広がった物体の検索 と,それらを「巣」と呼ばれる特殊な場所へ運ぶことから構成されている.科 学的な問題は常に,効果的な探索,マッピング,エージェント間のコミュニケー ション,タスクの調整と分担,衝突回避などに関心が持たれる.特に,ロボット 間の衝突はタスクを達成する上でグループの効果を減少させる.文献ではいく つかの研究は各々のロボットのコントロールシステムあるいは中長期間の通 信のいくつかの形式がどのように衝突を減少することが可能なのかを調査し ている.本研究では,我々は蟻の振る舞いにヒントを得た各々のロボットに対 して局所的に利用可能な情報だけに基づいた,単純な適応メカニズムがグルー プの効用を増大するのに効果的であると示した.同一の適応メカニズムはグ ループの...
متن کاملSocial learning in a simple task allocation game
The ability of social insect colonies to tackle different tasks simultaneously without central control is a key factor in their ecological success. Individual choices by colony members give rise to collective behaviours that are robust to dynamic and uncertain environments (Camazine et al., 2001). The mechanisms of this process, known as self-organised task allocation, have inspired a variety o...
متن کاملSocial Learning in Noncolonial Insects?
Social-information use has generated great interest lately and has been shown to have important implications for the ecology and evolution of species. Learning about predators or predation risk from others may provide low-cost life-saving information and would be expected to have adaptive payoffs in any species where conspecifics are observable and behave differently under predation risk. Yet, ...
