摘要: Social psychologists have used the replacement method to simulate cultural evolution in laboratory, studying what happens when a group of people performing task are gradually replaced by new members. We provide formal analysis dynamics under assumption that involved Bayesian agents. use connection statistical inference algorithm – Gibbs sampling characterize outcome this process, and show can account for both laboratory data population-level trends resulting from transmission.
