• Craniofacial Feminization, Social Tolerance, and the Origins of Behavioral Modernity (2014, background): “Increased tolerance would also greatly improve the fidelity of cultural transmission through the evolution of teaching and conformity (Tennie, Call, and Tomasello 2009; Thornton and Raihani 2008).”
• How to learn about teaching: An evolutionary framework for the study of teaching behavior in humans and other animals. (2014, background): “Thornton and Raihani (2008) point out that the Caro and Hauser (1992) operational definition can also lead to false negatives in the study of teaching in nonhuman animals (see also Thornton & McAuliffe 2012; cf. Byrne & Rapaport 2011).”
• Teaching in Hunter-Gatherers (2018, methodology): “…the use a working definition of Bteaching^ fromHewlett and Roulette (2016: 4), which is similar to definitions proposed by Caro and Hauser (1992), Thornton and Raihani (2008), and Kline (2015): An individual modifies her/his behavior to enhance learning in another…Teaching cannot be a by-product…”
