Abstract
A formal parallel is noted between some of the characteristics of organic evolution and trial and error learning. It is also pointed out that the execution of well-learned habits shares the same common features of providing organismic fit to the environment as learning and evolution, except for the apparent absence of the random variation feature. An attempt is made to account for this lack of correspondence by characterizing perceptual processes as subsitute trial and error containing a search component which takes the place of blind overt motor responses. 39 references.
