Observational learning in orangutan cultural transmission chains.
Field reports suggest that orangutans acquire local traditions by observing neighbouring conspecifics. However, there is little direct evidence of social learning to support this conclusion. The present study investigated whether orangutans would learn a novel foraging method through observation of a conspecific in a diffusion-chain paradigm testing for the spread of the behaviour. A foraging b...
متن کاملCultural Tool for Observational Learning
Learning through observation in everyday activities is widely recognized in the ethnographic literature as a central way that children learn from others. There are two well-described characteristics of learning through observation: participation in meaningful activities with people who are important in the children’s lives and a belief that children are active, motivated learners who take initi...
متن کاملObservational learning of tool use in children: Investigating cultural spread through diffusion chains and learning mechanisms through ghost displays.
In the first of two experiments, we demonstrate the spread of a novel form of tool use across 20 "cultural generations" of child-to-child transmission. An experimentally seeded technique spread with 100% fidelity along twice as many "generations" as has been investigated in recent exploratory "diffusion" experiments of this type. This contrasted with only a single child discovering the techniqu...
متن کاملCultural Commodity Chains, Cultural Clusters, or Cultural Production Chains?
The paper begins with a discussion of the definition of cultural industries. The paper’s three main themes are concerned with, first: 1) a contestation of the generic application of the global commodity chain concept, 2) the need for a unique focus on cultural industries associated with the particular nature of its production process, and 3) the role of embedded judgments of quality is an integ...
متن کاملThe Interactive Shaping of Social Learning in Transmission Chains
This study investigated the social transmission of memories and skills collected from a collaborative cooking task (raviolimaking) and across transmission chains. The transmission over three generations of pairs of participants occurred under two conditions. In the interactive condition, transmissions over generations occurred in face-to-face conversations, whereas in the non-interactive condit...
