Continuality of learning types: dynamic catastrophe-based modelling
The paper deals with the development of a theoretical framework for studying and modelling of learning phenomena in humans and non-humans. The approach is based upon the hypothesis of continuality of various observable types of learning curves, i.e. that the learning curves in various species or individuals are in fact manifestations of a single law and comprise a continuum. From mathematical point of view the approach uses the concepts of catastrophe theory and dynamic systems theory. It has been shown that the proposed modelling framework allows one to obtain all the known forms of learning curves with the help of variation of a single parameter λ that denotes the type of learning
