This paper applies the theoretical criteria laid out by D’Arms et al. ( 1998 ) to various aspects of evolutionary models of signalling. The question that D’Arms et al. seek to answer can be formulated as follows: Are the models that we use to explain the phenomena in question conceptually adequate? The conceptual adequacy question relates the formal aspects of the model to those aspects of the natural world that the model is supposed to capture. Moreover, this paper extends the analysis of D’Arms et al. by asking the following additional question: Are the models that we use sufficient to explain the phenomena in question? The sufficiency question asks what formal resources are minimally required for the model to get the right results most of the time.

简单通信的进化解释：信号游戏及其模型

本文应用了 D'Arms 等人提出的理论标准。(1998) 到信号进化模型的各个方面。D'Arms 等人的问题。寻求答案可以表述如下：我们用来解释所讨论的现象的模型在概念上是否足够？概念充分性问题将模型的形式方面与模型应该捕捉的自然世界的方面联系起来。此外，本文扩展了 D'Arms 等人的分析。通过提出以下附加问题：我们使用的模型是否足以解释所讨论的现象？充分性问题询问模型在大多数情况下获得正确结果所需的最低限度的正式资源。
