Social learning leads to inflexible strategy use in children across three societies by Wilson Vieira, Sarah Pope-Caldwell, Ardain Dzabatou, Luke Maurits, Marie Padberg, Daniel Haun

“…Humans excel at switching from strategies that no longer work to new ones, but when given the chance to voluntarily switch from familiar to better strategies (elective flexibility), we often exhibit remarkable difficulty. However, current research has shown that this may be mediated by exogenous factors such as cultural background and age. …”
