项目摘要
Innovation and learning are fundamental human traits, but they are thought to be costly to evolve due to the cognitive capacities necessary to support them. This research project tests hypotheses relevant to understanding the context in which social learning emerges to uncover the selective pressures driving innovation, behavioral flexibility, and a propensity to learn from others. Specifically, this project investigates how ecological and social factors influence social transmission of information in primates with differing baseline use of social learning. The project provides much-needed field-based research opportunities for underrepresented and lower-income students. The project also improves research partnerships that build capacity at minority-serving institutions, and disseminates findings broadly to academic and non-academic audiences.The study investigates social learning among non-human primates that share many features with humans, including large brains relative to body size, extensive cooperation, innovative social conventions, and refined foraging skills. These characteristics make them excellent candidates for studying the factors that influence the emergence of innovation and social learning. This research investigates how evolutionary pressures, ecological need, and social experience influence problem-solving and social learning strategies in two closely-related species that differ in tool use and social traditions that may impact their propensity to innovate and learn from others. The project will compare a) problem solving, b) behavioral flexibility, and c) social learning strategies across these populations. This research will highlight the impacts of cognitive differences, ecological necessity, and previous experiences on individuals’ ability to solve novel problems and transmit that knowledge to others.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
创新和学习是人类的基本特征,但由于支持它们所需的认知能力,人们认为它们的进化成本很高。该研究项目测试了与理解社会学习出现的背景相关的假设,以揭示推动创新、行为灵活性和向他人学习的倾向的选择性压力。具体来说,该项目研究了生态和社会因素如何影响具有不同社会学习基线使用的灵长类动物的社会信息传递。该项目为代表性不足和低收入学生提供了急需的实地研究机会。该项目还改善了研究伙伴关系,以建设少数族裔服务机构的能力,并向学术和非学术受众广泛传播研究结果。该研究调查了非人类灵长类动物的社会学习,这些动物与人类有许多共同特征,包括相对于体型而言较大的大脑、广泛的合作、创新的社会习俗和精致的觅食技能。这些特征使他们成为研究影响创新和社会学习出现的因素的优秀人选。这项研究调查了进化压力、生态需求和社会经验如何影响两个密切相关的物种解决问题和社会学习策略,这两个物种在工具使用和社会传统方面存在差异,可能会影响它们创新和向他人学习的倾向。该项目将比较这些人群的 a) 问题解决能力、b) 行为灵活性和 c) 社会学习策略。这项研究将强调认知差异、生态必要性和先前经验对个人解决新问题并将知识传播给他人的能力的影响。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
