Abstract:
We do not exist alone. Humans and most other animal species live in societies where the behaviour of an individual influences and is influenced by other members of the society. Within societies, an individual learns not only on its own, through classical conditioning and reinforcement, but to a large extent through its conspecifics, by observation and imitation. Species from rats to birds to humans have been observed to turn to their conspecifics for efficient learning of useful knowledge. One of the most important mechanisms for the transmission of this knowledge is imitation.
