我们人类在人口和生态方面的成功常常归功于我们累积文化的能力。然而，目前还不知道人类如何结合联合收割机社会和asocial学习，以产生有效的学习策略，在累积的文化背景。在这里，我们探讨累积文化如何影响各种纯粹和有条件学习策略的相对优点，包括纯粹的反社会和社会学习、批判性社会学习、有条件社会学习和个人精炼策略。我们在累积设置中复制罗杰斯悖论。然而，我们的分析表明，解决罗杰斯悖论在非累积设置的策略不一定会在累积设置，因此不同的策略将优化累积和非累积的文化学习。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The demographic and ecological success of our species is frequently attributed to our capacity for cumulative culture. However, it is not yet known how humans combine social and asocial learning to generate effective strategies for learning in a cumulative cultural context. Here we explore how cumulative culture influences the relative merits of various pure and conditional learning strategies, including pure asocial and social learning, critical social learning, conditional social learning and individual refiner strategies. We replicate the Rogers' paradox in the cumulative setting. However, our analysis suggests that strategies that resolved Rogers' paradox in a non-cumulative setting may not necessarily evolve in a cumulative setting, thus different strategies will optimize cumulative and non-cumulative cultural learning.
