Abstract :
The efficiency of the learning process is investigated in terms of the efficiency of abstract learning machines. The measure of efficiency defined gives an estimate of the minimum period for a system to absorb a given quantity of information, makes possible a quantitative comparison of different learning systems, and establishes a quantity which designers of adaptive machines should attempt to maximize.
