💥 Our new paper (with Lucas Molleman and Björn Lindström) is now out in @NatureHumBehav 🥳 nature.com/articles/s4156… 🧠 Here, we advance a novel RL account—the Social Feature Learning (SFL) model—that explains how people learn to learn from others! 🤝 🧵👇

This research advances a mechanistic reward learning account of social learning strategies. Through experiments & simulations, it shows how people learn to learn from others, dynamically shaping the processes involved in cultural evolution. @DSchultner nature.com/articles/s4156…
🎊 New paper out! In this @TrendsCognSci Forum, we (with Lucas Molleman and Björn Lindström) summarize how reward learning can lead to adaptive social learning. We also explore the broader consequences for cultural evolution: cell.com/trends/cogniti…
A fantastic blog post on our recent PNAS paper! It elegantly describes our rather complex findings and discusses their implications for bias reduction. I love the AI-generated podcast version, too. Thanks to @thepeoplegeek.bsky.social! davehodges.substack.com/p/the-hidden-g…
