A fundamental assumption of all evolution-based human mating theories is that mate preference and mating strategies evolved to solve either the specific adaptive problems encountered by the ancestral population or the specific selection pressures that occurred in the environment of evolutionary adaptiveness (Buss, 1994; Symons, 1979; Thornhill, 1997; Tooby & Cosmides, 1992).
Carr-Chellman & Duchastel (2000) suggest two facets of cognitive processes existing in the web learning: engagement (initiating and pursuing the interaction) and adaptiveness (enabling access to just the right information that is needed).
For instance, the lack of adaptiveness (situation specificity) and the Independence which was lower than expected are quite striking.
