The baldwin effect in developing neural networks
The Baldwin Effect is a very plausible, but unproven, biological theory concerning the power of learning to accelerate evolution. Simple computational models in the 1980’s gave...

How Does Niche Construction Reverse the Baldwin Effect?
Deacon [1] considers that the reverse Baldwin effect can be one of the major forces in language evolution. The reverse Baldwin effect is essentially a redistributional process of g...

Genetic Assimilation and Canalisation in the Baldwin Effect
The Baldwin Effect indicates that individually learned behaviours acquired during an organism’s lifetime can influence the evolutionary path taken by a population, without any di...
