....life history in terms of survival probability or reproductive success. Individuals who communicate successfully leave more o spring, who in turn learn their language, which puts the problem of grammar acquisition in an evolutionary context (Hashimoto Ikegami, 1995, 1996; Nowak Krakauer, 1999; Nowak et al. 1999, 2000) Learning theory (Vapnik, 1995; Valiant, 1984; Niyogi, 1998; Haussler et al. 1997; Osherson et al. 1986) often asks the question how many sample sentences are needed for an individual learner to acquire the correct rule from a single teacher with a certain probability. In contrast, we ....

Natural Selection of the Critical Period for Language.. - Komarova, Nowak   Self-citation (Nowak)   (Correct)

....during life history in terms of survival probability or reproductive success. Individuals who communicate successfully leave more ospring (thus the factors f in equations (1) and (2) who in turn learn their language. This puts the problem of grammar acquisition in an evolutionary context (Nowak Krakauer 1999; Nowak et al. 1999, 2000) Finally, the quantity in equations (1) and (2) is the average tness of the population. It is the average probability that a sentence said by one person is understood by another person (or the grammatical coherence) weighted by the individuals reproductive rate: n ....
