Historically, many more studies have been conducted on the role of natural selection on nonlearningrelated behaviors (see Chapter 2), and hence this approach takes up a significant proportion of most chapters. Conversely, while social psychologists have been studying social learning in humans for more than a century (see Chapter 6), it is only over the last few decades that animal behaviorists have seriously investigated social learning, or more generally cultural transmission. 16 | C H A P T E R 1 | P R I N C I P L E S O F A N I M A L B E H AV I O R Panel 1 Panel 2 Panel 3 Pups O2 O2 O1 O1 Observers D Generation 1 observers smell demonstrator.
When this rat (D for demonstrator rat) returns to its nest (panel 2), observer rats (O1) smell the rat and then are more likely to add hot dogs to their diet when they encounter such an item. Multigenerational cultural transmission occurs when rats from the next generation (O2) smell generation O1 rats after they have eaten hot dogs and subsequently add hot dogs to their own diet (panel 3). 17). In fact, the best studies in animal behavior tend to use all three of these approaches to one degree or another.

In the learning condition, the set-up consisted of a water dish in the center of the cage and a nutritionally balanced dish (b) on one side of the cage and a nutritionally deficient dish (d) on the other side of the cage. Each dish was paired with one odor (citral [cit] or coumarin [co]) and one colored card (brown or green).
