I first learned about reinforcement learning and then I got to watch kids (not in the scary way). I blew my mind how similar they really are in that they just spew out nonsense and see what sticks.
Conditioning (operant and classical) is THE learning process. After understanding that dogs’, pigeons’, and chimpanzees’ brains are using the exact same process as us, it really makes you realize that we’re way more similar than different.
