dc.description.abstract
An framework using exemplar theory is used to recreate a number of published models of the evolution of communication. This is then used to examine the mechanics behind models of observational, feedback and reinforcement learning.
A Pólya urn model is then used to investigate and compare the basic mechanics of each model and theory.
