Inhibition1
Jointly useful production aids may sustain private cultural adoption after rewards end
Where this hypothesis actsParticipants using reusable aids to enact cultural conventions after public rewards and ranker resets
What is proposedInterrupt the execution-cost advantage supplied by reusable aids
With whatPhysical or surgical intervention
HowReplace retained aids with visually matched inert versions or provide a functionally equivalent neutral aid that makes A and B equally cheap
Possible resultPossible increased abandonment of A when its execution-cost advantage is removed
