Learning by proportional observation in a species of fish. (2010)
Journal Article
Pike, T., Kendal, J., Rendell, L., & Laland, K. (2010). Learning by proportional observation in a species of fish. Behavioral Ecology, 21, 570-575. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arq025

Theoretical analyses predict that animals should not copy other individuals indiscriminately but rather should do so selectively, according to evolved behavioral strategies that dictate the circumstances under which they copy. Here, we show experimen... Read More about Learning by proportional observation in a species of fish..

The effect of task structure on diffusion dynamics: Implications for diffusion curve and network-based analyses (2010)
Journal Article
Hoppitt, W., Kandler, A., Kendal, J., & Laland, K. (2010). The effect of task structure on diffusion dynamics: Implications for diffusion curve and network-based analyses. Learning & Behavior, 38(3), 243-251. https://doi.org/10.3758/lb.38.3.243

Theoretical analyses within the broad field of social learning research give mixed conclusions on whether the shape of a diffusion curve can be used to infer that a learned trait increases through social or asocial learning. Here we explore how facto... Read More about The effect of task structure on diffusion dynamics: Implications for diffusion curve and network-based analyses.

Evidence for social learning in wild lemurs (Lemur catta) (2010)
Journal Article
Kendal, R., Custance, D., Kendal, J., Vale, G., Stoinski, T., Rakotomalala, N., & Rasaminanana, H. (2010). Evidence for social learning in wild lemurs (Lemur catta). Learning & Behavior, 38(3), 220-234. https://doi.org/10.3758/lb.38.3.220

Interest in social learning has been fuelled by claims of ‘culture’ in wild animals. These remain controversial because alternative explanations to social learning, such as asocial learning or ecological differences, remain difficult to refute. Compa...
