| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Many existing studies on human learning pay almost exclusive attention to how individuals learn. However, there is no doubt that we learn and acquire knowledge by interacting with others. The present research examined the influences of social structures on knowledge acquired by societies using computer simulations and behavioral studies. The results indicated that possessing knowledge or information that seemed redundant, arbitrary, and or socially/economically non-normative can build robust societies as by retaining diversities.
