Natural selection has produced instinctive behaviors through the slow and gradual accumulation of numerous slight, yet advantageous variations. The result is automation, a behavior that is second nature. This is called the Baldwin Effect. This principle can be applied to both humans and machines. In order to enable a machine to learn as efficiently as a human or animal, we need to understand primitive learning processes within humans, animals, and even insects. In this chapter, we explore primitive learning behaviors, including perceptual adaptive learning, peak-shift, lateral learning, learn-by-tapping, and indirect learning from virtual experiences, such as playing or gaming.
