文摘

Cognitive study of Darwin’s reading behavior via information foraging framework. Shows the existence of multiple timescales for exploration/exploitation behavior. Proposes framework for contrasting individual and collective behavior. Identifies shifts from exploitation to exploration in Darwin’s reading. Darwin’s reading order is more exploratory than the culture’s publication order.
