Time to Give Up the Dogmas of Attribution (2011, background): “…under the label causal history of reason (CHR) explanations and include such forces as the agent’s unconscious motives, personality, upbringing, culture, and the immediate context (Malle, 1999; Malle et al., 2000; O’Laughlin & Malle, 2002; see also Hirschberg, 1978; Locke & Pennington, 1982).”
Pragmatic markers: the missing link between language and Theory of Mind (2020, background): “…on whether human language could have evolved without Theory of Mind, even though language acquisition starts years before children are able to pass standard false-belief tasks (Sperber 2000;Malle 2002;Levinson2006;Tomasello 2008;Scott-Phillips 2014; Woensdregt et al. 2020; Moore, under review).”
Two problems of intersubjectivity (2009, background): “Similarly, the ToM emphasis on mindreading leads BaronCohen (1995) to regard much of the developmental data about eyetracking, intentionality detection, and shared attention as evidence of mere precurors to the main show of mindreading as demonstrated in false-belief tasks (also see Malle, 2002).”
Language as shaped by the brain. (2008, background): “…have occurred (see Hurford 2003, for a review), such as the ability to represent discrete symbols (Deacon 1997; Tomasello 2003), to reason about other minds (Malle 2002), to understand and share intentions (Tomasello 2003; Tomasello et al. 2005), and to perform pragmatic reasoning (Levinson 2000).”
