In the book, The Secret of our Success, Joseph Henrich offers a perspective of cultural inheritance from evolutionary biology.
How do children determine who to pay attention to? who to learn from?
1. Skill / Competence ("whose arrows hit the target?")
2. Success ("who brings back the big prey?")
3. Prestige (cues of attention, deference)
- use what other people are doing
- they are worthy of paying attention to
4. Age (ie, scaffold to incrementally experience)
5. Self-similarity
- what might be useful to you later?
- males copy males, females copy females, etc
