Numerous studies have focused on the transmission of complex skills in relation to human teaching. Some studies suggest that sharing social norms regarding social dilemma situations is crucial for maintaining cooperation in repeated public goods games. Additionally, research on content biases in cultural transmission has discussed potential differences in biases across the three phases of transmission. Specifically, the stereotype consistency bias is specific to the choose-to-transmission phase, where there is a preference for already-known information over not-yet-known information. Both social norms and stereotypes contain information that is commonly shared among individuals, and sharing this information may contribute to a sense of social connection. Therefore, the study of teaching should not only be limited to the transmission of new and complex skills, but should also consider social contexts such as maintaining intragroup cooperation. This requires a partial revision of the traditional definition of teaching.
