Reinforcement learning has proved quite successful in predicting subjects' adjustment behaviour in repeatedly played … simple games. However, reinforcement learning does not predict convergence to the efficient cell in the minimal information … learning rule, a modification of win-stay lose-change, does predict convergence. We perform an experiment using modern economic …

In “natural learning” the learner takes responsibility for learning. This responsibility applies to setting objectives …, selecting active learning tasks, obtaining feedback, and making applications. Self- oriented skill training (SOS) provides a … highly structured procedure to help the learner through the above four phases of natural learning. Of particular importance …

Formal education can be improved by transferring responsibility from the teacher to the learner. A simple approach to this is the time contract. Time contracts have been used successfully in nine quasi-experiments but, despite these successes, some educators see this as subversive research.
