  2. Adaptation (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(computer_science)

    For this reason, developers implement techniques of adaptation into the system in order to react to changing conditions as fast as possible. The example application scenario clearly shows an important distinction concerning such adaptation techniques: the differentiation between manually and automatically performed adaptation processes.

  3. Evolutionary psychology and culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_psychology...

    In contrast to genetic programs, cultural evolution investigates how culture itself may evolve (Mesoudi, 2009 [7]). Gene-culture coevolution studies how culture and genetic evolution influence each other, ultimately shaping behavior, as well. Cultural evolution and evolutionary psychology may not be as disparate as one may think, though.

  4. Adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation

    Often, two or more species co-adapt and co-evolve as they develop adaptations that interlock with those of the other species, such as with flowering plants and pollinating insects. In mimicry , species evolve to resemble other species; in mimicry this is a mutually beneficial co-evolution as each of a group of strongly defended species (such as ...

    "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place." — Lewis Carroll [4]. In 1973, Leigh Van Valen proposed the hypothesis as an "explanatory tangent" to explain the "law of extinction" known as "Van Valen's law", [1] which states that the probability of extinction does not depend on the lifetime of the species or higher-rank taxon, instead being constant ...

  6. Complexity theory and organizations - Wikipedia

    In a CAS, the system and the agents co-evolve; the system lightly constrains agent behavior, but the agents modify the system by their interaction with it. This self-organizing nature is an important characteristic of CAS; and its ability to learn to adapt, differentiate it from other self-organizing systems. [7] [13] [14] [11] [12]

  7. List of examples of convergent evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_examples_of...

    Stickleback fish have repeatedly moved between marine and freshwater environments, with widespread convergent evolution to adapt and readapt to these environments in different species. [ 125 ] Flying fish can fly up to 400 m (1,300 ft) at speeds of more than 70 kilometres per hour (43 mph) at a maximum altitude of more than 6 m (20 ft), much ...

  8. Adaptive learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_learning

    Adaptive learning, also known as adaptive teaching, is an educational method which uses computer algorithms as well as artificial intelligence to orchestrate the interaction with the learner and deliver customized resources and learning activities to address the unique needs of each learner.

  9. Organizational adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizational_adaptation

    Frameworks were developed that focused on the interplay between organizations and environments. [2] [6] [7] Hrebeniak and Joyce (1985) specifically elaborated upon the interplay between strategic choice and environmental determinism, suggesting that both resided along a continuum that distinguished various forms of adaptation.
