| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to develop the experimental method to investigate the process of cultural transmission in young children. First, we assumed young children’s imitative learning as the ability underpinning cultural transmission and analyzed the factors influencing imitative learning. Focusing the phenomenon, known as “over-imitation”, we explored what kind of action young children were more likely to imitate and discuss the key factors promoting cultural transmission. Second, we observed the transmission process of some knowledge within a children’s group and discuss the indexes of cultural transmission in children.
