Our most recent approaches aim to look at the impact of affect on communication and social learning. Inspired by the work of Danny Dukes and Fabrice Clément, we have developped a new paradigm of affective social learning on an evolutionary scale, which takes into account the affective, behavioral and cognitive aspects of learning: the ABC model of social learning (Gruber et al. 2022).
