| | What it is | Changes in the cognitive controller (the core "thinking" part) over and beyond basic learning: After a growth burst of this kind the controller can learn differently/better/new things, especially new //categories// of things. | | |

| | \\ Few-Shot Learning | The ability to learn something from very few examples or very little data. Common variants include one-shot learning, where the learner only needs to be told (or experience) something once, and zero-shot learning, where the learner has already inferred it without needing to experience or be told. \\ //Subsumed by cumulative learning because prior knowledge is transferrable to new information, meaning that (theoretically) only the delta between what has been priorly learned and what is required for the new information needs to be learned.// | | | \\ Few-Shot Learning | The ability to learn something from very few examples or very little data.

| | | Why it Matters | In humans, cognitive growth seems to be nature's method for ensuring safety when knowledge is extremely lacking. Instead of allowing a human baby to walk around and do things, nature makes human babies start with extremely primitive cognitive abilities that grow over time under the guidance of a competent caretaker. | |
