Abstract
- We discuss the two possible learning processes underlying conformist transmission.
- We present an extended analysis of conformity in a previous study of great tits.
- This shows that both conformist processes generate similar results and outcomes.
- We argue that functional equivalence is likely in most natural contexts.
