Action understanding as inverse planning. (2009, unknown): “…infants’ interpretations of behavior are qualitatively consistent with the inverse planning view (Csibra, Biró, Koós, & Gergely, 2003; Gergely, Nádasdy, Csibra, & Biró, 1995; Gergely, Bekkering, & Király, 2002; Meltzoff, 1988, 1995; Phillips & Wellman, 2005; Sodian, Schoeppner, & Metz, 2004).”
Neural mechanisms of understanding rational actions: middle temporal gyrus activation by contextual violation. (2011, background): “Several behavioral studies have shown that human infants are sensitive to the rationality of an action from a very early age (Gergely et al. 1995; Sodian et al. 2004; Phillips and Wellman 2005; Brandone and Wellman 2009).”
Learning with Humans in the Loop (2020, background): “When it comes to our own interaction with other people, cognitive science research has amassed evidence that we might use such a theory of mind [13, 22, 59, 7] – in particular, that we assume that others are approximately rational, i.”
'Obsessed with goals': functions and mechanisms of teleological interpretation of actions in humans. (2007, background): “They apply the principle of rational action to the interpretation of behaviours of people (Sodian, Schoeppner, & Metz, 2004; Kamewari, Kato, Kanda, Ishiguro, & Hiraki, 2005), hands (Woodward & Sommerville, 2000; Phillips & Wellman, 2005), puppets (Sodian et al., 2004), robots (Kamewari et al.”
Rational Imitation in 12-Month-Old Infants (2006, result): “Tasks that are in some ways analogous to that of Gergely et al. (2002) have been presented to younger infants using looking-time procedures (Csibra et al., 1999; Gergely et al., 1995; Kamewari, Kato, Kanda, Ishiguro, & Hiraki, 2005; Phillips & Wellman, 2005; Sodian, Schoeppner, & Metz, 2004 ).”
Goal attribution to inanimate agents by 6.5-month-old infants. (2008, methodology): “…studies using this paradigm found looking time differences in the control groups (Biro et al., 2007; Csibra et al., 1999; Csibra et al., 2003; Gergely et al., 1995; Phillips & Wellman, 2005; Sodian et al., 2004; Southgate, Johnson, & Csibra, submitted for publication; Wagner & Carey, 2005).”
