dc.description.abstract• We discuss the two possible learning processes underlying conformist transmission. • We present an extended analysis of conformity in a previous study of great tits. • This shows that both conformist processes generate similar results and outcomes. • We argue that functional equivalence is likely in most natural contexts.en_GB
