We investigate whether the effect of peer presence on exploration is mediated by…

Barrett, H. Clark; Peterson, Christopher D.; Frankenhuis, Willem E. – Child Development, 2016
Cultural transmission is often viewed as a domain-general process. However, a growing literature suggests that learnability is influenced by content and context. The idea of a learnability landscape is introduced as a way of representing the effects of interacting factors on how easily information is acquired. Extending prior work (Barrett &…
