This proposed study asks whether a finished request to share content can be revived when a familiar signal returns, keeping cultural copying alive after the task ends. Participants would learn to relay content after signal X or the equally familiar signal Y, then complete and end the task. Later, researchers would reset the recommendation system, return or suppress notifications, and sometimes swap the signal while matching the message, timing, visibility and chance to act. Only a newly composed human post counts. More copying after the originally trained signal returns would support reactivation tied to that signal; similar responses could reflect simpler cue-response habits.
