Machine Theory of Mind (2018, background): “An understanding of this last possibility – that others can have false beliefs – has become the most celebrated indicator of a rich Theory of Mind, and there has been considerable research into how much children, infants, apes, and other species carry this capability (Baron-Cohen et al., 1985; South”
Symposium on S. Butterfill and I. Apperly, "How to Construct a Minimal Theory of Mind" (2013, background): “Later they had an opportunity to recover food in the presence of Competitor A. e scrub-jays preferred to recover and re-cache food cached in the presence of Competitor A, leaving untouched food cached in the presence of the absent competitor (Clayton et al. 2007, pp. 517-9).”
Mechanisms of social cognition. (2012, background): “A largely implicit form of mentalizing is likely to be involved in perspective taking and tracking the intentional states of others, and this has been claimed for a variety of social animals as well as humans (e.g., Clayton et al. 2007).”
Darwin's mistake: Explaining the discontinuity between human and nonhuman minds (2008, unknown): “…ability of scrub-jays to re-cache food which they had previously cached in front of a conspecific, but only when they had previous experience of stealing another bird's caches; which we have suggested is an example of experience projection (Clayton et al. 2007; Emery 2004; Emery & Clayton 2004a).”
Intelligence in Corvids and Apes: A Case of Convergent Evolution? (2009, background): “…to protect their caches are based not just on simple rules of thumb (e.g. by only hiding food when there is no competitor in sight), but are instead highly flexible, and may depend on an ability to take the visual perspective of the competitor into account (reviewed in Clayton et al. 2007) .”
Interaction between animal personality and animal cognition (2011, methodology): “For example, corvids are extensively used in trials testing tool use, food caching and problem solving (e.g. Dally et al., 2006; Tebbich et al., 2007; Clayton et al., 2007; Correja et al., 2007; Raby et al., 2007; Seed et al., 2008).”
Hippocampal Contributions to Control: The Third Way (2007, background): “However, taking advantage of the flaws in an opponent require exactly remembering how its actions deviate from stationary statistics, for which an episodic memory is a most useful tool [16].”
Do humans have two systems to track beliefs and belief-like states? (2009, background): “More impressive, when recovering food in private, scrub-jays prefer to recover caches that were observed by a competitor over those cached in private, and when recovering food in the presence of a competitor, they prefer to recover food cached in the presence of that competitor to food cached in the”
