“…Optimisation of receiver behaviour, due to understanding of own knowledge state. In much the same way that metacognitive awareness is assumed to facilitate academic performance (Dunlosky and Metcalfe, 2009) it is possible that it could similarly enable cumulative culture for reasons that are not inherently linked to how an agent understands or interacts with others. Awareness of one's own knowledge state would allow learners to seek out new information when necessary, and recognise when updating their knowledge might be beneficial.…”

“…Mathematical models have also suggested that selective copying of successful behaviours or successful individuals, when coupled with the opportunity to learn asocially, can strongly affect cumulative cultural evolution (Ehn & Laland, ). Ehn & Laland () propose an ‘individual refiner’ strategy, which first uses social learning, and then refines through individual learning, and continues to do so irrespective of the level achieved. This strategy generates high fitness across a broad range of conditions, leads to high amounts of socially transmitted behaviour in the population, and accumulates significantly more innovations over the generations than other strategies.…”

“…less adaptive for populations with innovation fixed at low or medium levels. Thus, innovation is an essential ingredient for prosocial traits to develop, as has been shown in previous work on cultural transmission through iterative cycles of imitation and innovation (Ehn & Laland, 2012;Wisdom & Goldstone, 2011;Derex, Feron, Godelle, & Raymond, 2015).…”
