Cultural Adaptations to Environmental Variability: An Evolutionary Account of East–West Differences (2011, background): “When the environment is relatively stable either vertically or horizontally, copying is more effective and efficient than trial and error (Boyd and Richerson 1983, 1985, 1988).”
An experimental comparison of human social learning strategies: payoff-biased social learning is adaptive but underused (2011, background): “Mathematical analyses have found that social learning is often more likely to lead to adaptive solutions than individual learning (Aoki, Wakano & Feldman, 2005; Boyd & Richerson, 1985, 1988; Kameda & Nakanishi, 2003; Rogers, 1988).”
The when and who of social learning and conformist transmission (2016, unknown): “…on the proportion of participants who selected an option (Proportion), the number of options (Options), and number of participants in the group (Participants), thereby testing several theoretical predictions (Boyd & Richerson, 1985, 1988, 1996; Henrich & Boyd, 1998; King & Cowlishaw, 2007).”
