The general problem of "information foraging" in an environment about whichagents have incomplete information has been explored in many fields, includingcognitive psychology, neuroscience, economics, finance, ecology, and computerscience. In all of these areas, the searcher aims to enhance future performanceby surveying enough of existing knowledge to orient themselves in theinformation space. Individuals can be viewed as conducting a cognitive searchin which they must balance exploration of ideas that are novel to them againstexploitation of knowledge in domains in which they are already expert.  In this dissertation, I present several case studies that demonstrate howreading and writing behaviors interact to construct personal knowledge bases.These studies use LDA topic modeling to represent the information environmentof the texts each author read and wrote. Three studies revolve around CharlesDarwin. Darwin left detailed records of every book he read for 23 years, fromdisembarking from the H.M.S. Beagle to just after publication of The Origin ofSpecies. Additionally, he left copies of his drafts before publication. Icharacterize his reading behavior, then show how that reading behaviorinteracted with the drafts and subsequent revisions of The Origin of Species,and expand the dataset to include later readings and writings. Then, through astudy of Thomas Jefferson's correspondence, I expand the study to non-bookdata. Finally, through an examination of neuroscience citation data, I movefrom individual behavior to collective behavior in constructing an informationenvironment. Together, these studies reveal "the interplay between individualand collective phenomena where innovation takes place" (Tria et al. 2014).
