The evolution of conformist social learning can cause population collapse in realistically variable environments (2009, methodology): “They provide a novel perspective for interpreting some historical and anthropological records of population declines and may have political or sociological implications.”
Empirical, Theoretical, and Practical Advantages of the HEXACO Model of Personality Structure (2007, background): “In addition, the idea-related endeavor interpretation of Openness to Experience is similar to the contrast between individual learning and imitation ( Kameda & Nakanishi, 2002 ).”
Trade‐Offs in the Adaptive Use of Social and Asocial Learning (2005, background): “Mammals Using human subjects, Kameda and Nakanishi (2002) tested their prediction that, in a variable environment, individuals will be less likely to conform (or copy the majority) to the behavioral decisions of others with increasing costs of acquiring personal information (see Section III.”
An experimental simulation of the “copy-successful-individuals” cultural learning strategy: adaptive landscapes, producer–scrounger dynamics, and informational access costs (2008, methodology): “…simulation of cultural (especially technological) evolution compared with previous cultural evolution experiments (e.g., Efferson et al., 2008; Kameda & Nakanishi 2002, 2003; McElreath et al., 2005), which employ a relatively simple task featuring a single dichotomous attribute (e.g., which…”
The robust beauty of majority rules in group decisions. (2005, background): “What happens to group performance if we add individual information search and voting costs to the social decision system (Kameda & Nakanishi, 2002, 2003; Kameda, Takezawa, & Hastie, 2003)?”
Does social/cultural learning increase human adaptability?: Rogers's question revisited (2003, unknown): “Although the producer-scrounger dilemma about information provision (Kameda & Nakanishi, 2002) clearly characterized members' interdependency in the cultural population as implied by the Rogers (1988) model, his thesis per se was not supported; in both the experiment and simulations, the cultural…”
Using the methods of experimental social psychology to study cultural evolution. (2007, background): “For example, Kameda and Nakanishi (2002) explored experimentally the adaptiveness of individual and social learning within groups of six participants.”
An experimental comparison of human social learning strategies: payoff-biased social learning is adaptive but underused (2011, methodology): “While previous experimental studies (e.g. Kameda & Nakanishi, 2002, 2003; McElreath et al., 2005) have typically used a rather artificial and highly simplified task with a single dichotomous choice (e.g., plant one of two kinds of crops or locate a rabbit in one of two places), the present study…”
Dual-inheritance theory: The evolution of human cultural capacities and cultural evolution (2007, methodology): “more complex environments using evolutionary simulations (Henrich and Boyd, 1998; Kameda and Nakanishi, 2002).”
