Most neural network (NN) models of human category learning use a gradient-based learning method, which assumes that locally-optimal changes are made to model parameters on each learning trial. This method tends to underpredict variability in individual-level cognitive processes. In addition many recent models of human category learning have been criticized for not being able to replicate rapid ...

Imitation is an example of social learning in which an individual observes and copies another’s actions. This paper presents a new method for using imitation as a way of enhancing the learning speed of individual agents that employ a well-known reinforcement learning algorithm, namely Q-learning. Compared to other research that uses imitation with reinforcement learning, our method uses imitati...
