Query: Learning to solve complex tasks by growing knowledge culturally across
  generations   Knowledge built culturally across generations allows humans to learn far more
than an individual could glean from their own experience in a lifetime.
Cultural knowledge in turn rests on language: language is the richest record of
what previous generations believed, valued, and practiced, and how these
evolved over time. The power and mechanisms of language as a means of cultural
learning, however, are not well understood, and as a result, current AI systems
do not leverage language as a means for cultural knowledge transmission. Here,
we take a first step towards reverse-engineering cultural learning through
language. We developed a suite of complex tasks in the form of minimalist-style
video games, which we deployed in an iterated learning paradigm. Human
participants were limited to only two attempts (two lives) to beat each game
and were allowed to write a message to a future participant who read the
message before playing. Knowledge accumulated gradually across generations,
allowing later generations to advance further in the games and perform more
efficient actions. Multigenerational learning followed a strikingly similar
trajectory to individuals learning alone with an unlimited number of lives.
Successive generations of learners were able to succeed by expressing distinct
types of knowledge in natural language: the dynamics of the environment,
valuable goals, dangerous risks, and strategies for success. The video game
paradigm we pioneer here is thus a rich test bed for developing AI systems
capable of acquiring and transmitting cultural knowledge.
