Symposium on S. Butterfill and I. Apperly, "How to Construct a Minimal Theory of Mind" (2013, background): “e authors suggest that this could be explained either by supposing that infants understand what the adult does not know, or that they understand what the adult is not aending to (Liszkowski et al. 2006, p. 185).”

Helping and Cooperation at 14 Months of Age. (2007, background): “In addition, children occasionally point to objects another person is looking for as a form of helping through informing others ( Liszkowski, Carpenter, Striano, & Tomasello, 2006; see also Dunn & Munn, 1986).”
Theory of Mind and Preference Learning at the Interface of Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, and AI: A Review (2022, background): “Liszkowski et al. (2006) showed that children as young as 12–18 months were able to infer an adult’s behavior and aid them.”
The Development of Fairness Expectations and Prosocial Behavior in the Second Year of Life (2013, background): “Past work suggests that 12- to 14-month-old infants show evidence of helping behavior under these circumstances (Liszkowski et al., 2006; Warneken & Tomasello, 2007, 2009b).”
