Kurzfassung
Evidence for both, acceleration and deceleration of evolution
through learning can be found in the literature. We suggest a
selection gradient model that allows to predict whether
acceleration or deceleration is predominant. The main idea is that
learning alters the genotype-to-fitness landscape, which determines
selection pressure. Assuming that fitness can be split up into an
innate and a learned component, conditions for the occurrence of the
Baldwin and the Hiding effect are derived. We introduce learning
curves to analyse what we term lifetime fitness. The influence of
the shape of the learning curve on the interaction between evolution
and learning is analysed.
