The mutual relevance of teaching and cultural attraction

Thomas C Scott-Phillips et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2015.

Abstract

As Kline envisages, there is an important relationship between cultural attraction and teaching. The very function of teaching is to make the content taught an attractor. Teaching, moreover, typically fulfills its function by exploiting a variety of factors of cultural attraction that help make its content learnable and teachable.
