5 BASIC PRINCIPLES OF
DARWINIAN EVOLUTION THEORY
[FROM: MICHAEL SHERMER’S (2002) In Darwin’s Shadow: The life and Science of
Alfred Russel Wallace. New York, NY: Oxford University Press, p. 207.]

EVOLUTION: CHANGE (in behavior)THROUGH
TIME.
DESCENT WITH MODIFICATION: THE MODE OF
EVOLUTION BY BRANCHING COMMON
DESCENT.
GRADUALISM: CHANGE (in behavior) IS SLOW,
STEADY, STATELY. NATURA NON FACIT SALTUS.
GIVEN ENOUGH TIME EVOLUTION CAN
ACCOUNT FOR THE ORIGIN OF NEW SPECIES.
MULTIPLICATION OF SPECIATION:
EVOLUTION PRODUCES NOT JUST NEW SPECIES
(behavior), BUT AN INCREASING NUMBER OF NEW
SPECIES (behaviors).
NATURAL SELECTION: THE MECHANISM OF
EVOLUTIONARY CHANGE CAN BE SUBDIVIDED
INTO FIVE STEPS: (SEE NEXT SLIDE).
FIVE STEPS OF
NATURAL SELECTION
•
•
•
•
•
1. POPULATIONS [behaviors] TEND TO INCREASE
INDEFINITELY IN A GEOMETRIC RATIO. [FROM
OBSERVATION]
2. IN A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, HOWEVER,
POPULATION [behavior] NUMBERS STABILIZE AT A
CERTAIN LEVEL. [FROM OBSERVATION]
THERE MUST BE A “STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE”
SINCE NOT ALL ORGANISMS [behaviors]
PRODUCED CAN SURVIVE. [FROM INFERENCE]
THERE IS VARIATION IN EVERY SPECIES
[behaviors]. [FROM OBSERVATION]
IN THE STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE, THOSE
VARIATIONS THAT ARE BETTER ADAPTED TO
THE ENVIRONMENT LEAVE BEHIND MORE
OFFSPRING THAN THE LESS WELL ADAPTED
INDIVIDUALS, ALSO KNOWN AS DIFFERENTIAL
REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS. [FROM INFERENCE]

PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING SHOULD APPLY
EQUALLY TO DIFFERENT BEHAVIORS AND TO
DIFFERENT SPECIES OF ANIMALS
LEARNING PROCESSES CAN BE STUDIED MOST
OBJECTIVELY WHEN THE FOCUS OF STUDY IS
ON STIMULI AND RESPONSES.
INTERNAL PROCESSES ARE LARGELY EXCLUDED
FROM SCIENTIFIC STUDY
LEARNING INVOLVES A BEHAVIOR CHANGE
ORGANISMS ARE BORN AS BLANK SLATES (tabula
rasa).
LEARNING IS LARGELY THE RESULT OF
ENVIRONMENTAL EVENTS.
THE MOST USEFUL THEORIES TEND TO BE
PARSIMONIOUS ONES.

General Assumptions of Cognitive
Theories
 Some Learning Processes may be unique to
human beings.
 Cognitive processes are the focus of study.
 Objective, systematic observations of
people’s behavior should be the focus of
scientific inquiry; however, inferences
about unobservable mental processes can
often be drawn from behavior.
 Individuals are actively involved in the
learning process.
 Learning involves the formation of mental
representations or associations that are not
necessarily reflected in overt behavior
changes.
Implications of
Cognitive Theories
 Cognitive processes influence
learning.
 As children grow, they become
capable of increasingly more
sophisticated thought.
 People organize the things they
learn.
 New information is most easily
acquired when people can associate
it with things they have already
learned.
 People control their own learning.

Key Ideas in Information Processing Theory
I
Sensation and Perception
II Attention
A. Distractibility decreases; sustained attention increases
B. Attention becomes increasingly purposeful
III Working Memory
A. Processing speed increases
B. Children acquire more effective cognitive processes
C. The physical capacity of working memory
may increase somewhat
IV Long-Term Memory
A. The amount of knowledge stored in long-term
memory increases
B. Knowledge becomes increasingly symbolic in nature
C. Children’s knowledge about the world
becomes increasingly integrated
D. Children’s growing knowledge base facilitates
more effective learning
