Cultural evolution in laboratory microsocieties including traditions of rule giving and rule following (2004, background): “Almost all of the laboratory research on social learning (e.g., Heyes & Galef, 1996; Rosenthal & Zimmerman, 1978) focuses on the individual-level mechanisms by which one organism acquires behavior from another.”
A survey of socially interactive robots (2003, unknown): “An extensive discussion is given in [72].”
Sylvia's Recipe: The Role of Imitation and Pedagogy in the Transmission of Cultural Knowledge (2006, background): “…behavioral traditions found in groups of non-human primates, or both (Baldwin 1894; Bandura 1986; Blackmore 2000; Byrne and Russon 1998; Dawkins 1976; Dennett 1995; Donald 1991; Meltzoff 1996; Tomasello, Kruger, and Rutner 1993; Tomasello 1999; Whiten 2000; Whiten and Custance 1996).”

Less is more: social learning of predator recognition requires a low demonstrator to observer ratio in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) (2004, background): “Social learning has been investigated widely in various taxa and is considered a common feature of vertebrate ecology (Kieffer and Colgan 1992; Heyes and Galef 1996; Shettleworth 2001; Griffin 2004).”
