Beyond existence and aiming outside the laboratory: estimating frequency-dependent and pay-off-biased social learning strategies.

10 Nov 2008 The existence of social learning has been confirmed in diverse taxa, from apes to guppies. In order to advance our understanding of the consequences of social transmission and evolution of behaviour, however, we require statistical tools that can ... Read more...

Investigating children as cultural magnets: do young children transmit redundant information along diffusion chains?

10 Nov 2008 The primary goal of this study was to investigate cultural transmission in young children, with specific reference to the phenomenon of overimitation. Diffusion chains were used to compare the imitation of 2- and 3-year-olds on a task in which the ... Read more...

Review. Theoretical and empirical evidence for the impact of inductive biases on cultural evolution.

10 Nov 2008 The question of how much the outcomes of cultural evolution are shaped by the cognitive capacities of human learners has been explored in several disciplines, including psychology, anthropology and linguistics. We address this question through a ... Read more...
