Investigations of biases and experiential effects on social learning, social information use, and mirror systems can usefully inform one another. Unconstrained learning is predicted to shape mirror systems when the optimal response to an observed act varies, but constraints may emerge when immediate error-free responses are required and evolutionary or developmental history reliably predicts the optimal response. Given the power of associative learning, such constraints may be rare.
对社会学习、社会信息使用和镜像系统的偏差和经验影响的研究可以相互借鉴。当对观察到的行为的最佳反应发生变化时,无约束学习预计会塑造镜像系统,但当需要即时无误的反应且进化或发展历史可靠地预测最佳反应时,可能会出现约束。鉴于联想学习的强大功能,这种约束可能很少见。
