• An experimental simulation of the “copy-successful-individuals” cultural learning strategy: adaptive landscapes, producer–scrounger dynamics, and informational access costs (2008, methodology): “several studies have recently sought to simulate cultural evolution and cultural transmission in the lab using experimental methods (Baum, Richerson, Efferson, & Paciotti, 2004; Caldwell & Millen, 2008; Efferson, Lalive, Richerson, McElreath, & Lubell, 2008; Kameda & Nakanishi, 2002, 2003; McElrea”
• An experimental comparison of human social learning strategies: payoff-biased social learning is adaptive but underused (2011, background): “To address Point (ii), the predictions of theoretical analyses have begun to be empirically tested using laboratory experiments (Caldwell & Millen, 2008; Efferson, Lalive, Richerson, McElreath & Lubell, 2008; Kameda & Nakanishi, 2002, 2003; McElreath et al., 2008; McElreath et al., 2005; Mesoudi,…”
