Abstract:
Incremental learning concepts are reviewed in machine learning and neurobiology. They are identified in evolution, neurodevelopment and learning. A timeline of qualitative axon, neuron and synapse development summarizes the review on neurodevelopment. A discussion of experimental results on data incremental learning with recurrent artificial neural networks reveals that incremental learning often seems to be more efficient or powerful than standard learning but can produce unexpected side effects. A characterization of incremental learning is proposed which takes the elaborated biological and machine learning concepts into account.

E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
