Symposium on S. Butterfill and I. Apperly, "How to Construct a Minimal Theory of Mind" (2013, background): “In many cases the states of affairs, x and y, differ only with respect to the location of an object (e.g. Onishi & Baillargeon 2005; Southgate et al. 2007; Träuble et al. 2010).”
Belief-based action prediction in preverbal infants (2014, background): “When presented with scenarios in which an agent acts either consistently or inconsistently with how their past experience should lead them to act, preverbal infants respond with increased attention to the inconsistently-behaving agent (Onishi & Baillargeon, 2005; Surian, Caldi, & Sperber, 2007).”
The mentalistic basis of core social cognition: experiments in preverbal infants and a computational model. (2013, positive): “While recent research suggests that infants are capable of sophisticated mental-state reasoning (e.g., Onishi & Baillargeon, 2005; Southgate, Senju, & Csibra, 2007; Surian, Caldi, & Sperber, 2007), these studies have utilized older infants, at least in the second year of life, and have not escaped…”
The Basis of Epistemic Trust: Reliable Testimony or Reliable Sources? (2007, background): “This suggests that toddlers and young children are not solely attending to output and raises the possibility that even infants might distinguish between honest mistakes and errors made out of ignorance (see also Onishi & Baillargeon 2005).”
Replications of implicit theory of mind tasks with varying representational demands (2017, methodology): “Although we followed previous reports in recruiting infants between 15 months and 24 months of age (e.g. Onishi & Baillargeon, 2005; Song et al., 2008; Scott & Baillargeon, 2009; Träuble et al., 2010), it is possible that the population our sample drew from is different in some relevant respect…”
Lookit (Part 1): A New Online Platform for Developmental Research (2017, neutral): “…95% of the time, typical for offline coding in labs (90–95% agreement reported by Baillargeon, Spelke, & Wasserman, 1985; Feigenson, Carey, & Spelke, 2002; Onishi & Baillargeon, 2005; Starkey, Spelke, & % p ar tic ip an ts 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Lookit Some HS HS College Adv. deg.”
I'd do anything for a cookie (but I won't do that): Children's understanding of the costs and rewards underlying rational action (2014, background): “…mounting evidence that humans engage in relatively rich psychological reasoning even as infants (e.g., Gergeley & Csibra,2003; Hamlin, Wynn, & Bloom, 2007; Onishi & Baillargeon, 2005) This suggests that a naïve utility calculus might play a role in children's inferences much earlier in development.”
What Do Mirror Neurons Contribute to Human Social Cognition (2008, background): “Although very recent evidence from Onishi and Baillargeon (2005) suggests that 15-month-old infants can represent an agent ’ s false beliefs, it seems that much younger infants can represent an agent ’ s goal or (motor) intention.”
