:Analogies for Sustainable Development/Transfer of learning as evolutionary information processing
“Human cognition is a natural information processing system, and as such it shares common characteristics with other natural information processing systems ….
Evolution by natural selection is also an example of a natural information processing system. Because natural information processing systems share common characteristics and because evolution by natural selection drove the evolution of human cognitive architecture, in effect, the processes of human cognition mimic the processes of evolution.” - Clark, Nguyen & Sweller (2006)
