Abstract

This paper examines the effect of cultural learning on a population of neural networks. We compare the genotypic diversity of populations employing only population learning and of populations using both population and cultural learning. We show that cultural learning is capable of achieving higher fitness levels and maintains a higher level of genotypic diversity.
