Action experience alters 3-month-old infants' perception of others' actions. (2005, background): “During the first year of life infants encode certain events as goal-directed, that is, they represent human actions (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) and certain object motions (19, 20, 21) with respect tothe objects and outcomes to which they are directed, rather than in terms of their superficial perceptual pr”
Infants’ developing understanding of the link between looker and object (2003, background): “The current studies investigated infants’ understanding of this most basic fact about gaze, drawing on a logic developed in prior work to assess infants’ understanding of the relation between actors and objects for manual actions (Guajardo & Woodward, under review; Woodward, 1998, 1999; Woodward & G”
Development and neurophysiology of mentalizing. (2003, background): “Woodward et al. (2001) showed that from 12 months of age but not before, there is a primitive understanding that gaze involves a relation between a person and the object of her gaze.”
'Obsessed with goals': functions and mechanisms of teleological interpretation of actions in humans. (2007, background): “However, there is no consensus about how they achieve this, and what factors influence their interpretation of others’ observed behaviours as goal-directed actions (Csibra, 2003; Gergely, 2003; Hauf & Prinz, 2005; Woodward, Sommerville, & Guajardo, 2001 ).”
Shared representations between self and other: a social cognitive neuroscience view. (2003, background): “Further evidence suggests that infants may productively use information from their own action capabilities to understand the actions of others [ 10 ].”
Infants’ understanding of the point gesture as an object-directed action (2002, background): “In some studies, only the actor’s arm was visible (Woodward, 1998, 1999), and in others the actor’s face was also visible (Guajardo & Woodward, under review; Woodward et al., 2001; Woodward, in press).”
Hierarchically organized behavior and its neural foundations: A reinforcement-learning perspective (2008, background): “For example, empirical work with both children and adults demonstrates that human observers spontaneously infer goals and subgoals from the behavior of others (Gergely & Csibra, 2003; Meltzoff, 1995; Sommerville & Woodward, 2005a; Tenenbaum & Saxe, 2006; Woodward, Sommerville, & Guajardo, 2001 ).”
What imitation tells us about social cognition: a rapprochement between developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience. (2003, background): “(a) Evidence from developmental science: infants’ understanding of others’ goals and intentions Developmental psychologists have attempted to use preferential-looking procedures to explore infants’ understanding goals (see Gergely et al. 1995; Woodward et al. 2001; Csibra 2003).”
Infants' Understanding of Looking, Pointing, and Reaching as Cues to Goal-Directed Action (2004, background): “ Woodward et al. (2001) argued that the relation between the pointer and the referent of the point may be harder to encode for infants than the relation between the person who grasps and the object being grasped because grasping and pointing are manifestations of different kinds of underlying inten”
A syntactic approach to robot imitation learning using probabilistic activity grammars (2013, unknown): “It is also known that humans tend to interpret actions based on goals rather than motion trajectories [12,13].”
