Psychological and Sociomoral Reasoning in Infancy (2014, background): “Such a view, we believe, is not supported by the extensive evidence reviewed in this chapter that infants attribute mental states to agents (for related arguments, see Carruthers, 2013; Jacob, in press).”
Two Systems for Mindreading? (2016, background): “Hence if one accepts that working-memory contents are always conscious (Prinz 2012; Carruthers 2015b), we can conclude that a representation of the agent’s belief would need to have been retrieved from long-term memory at the appropriate point in the story (when the agent’s reaching action is cued b”
Belief-based action prediction in preverbal infants (2014, background): “While several authors have advocated an innate, modular mechanism for attributing mental states (Carruthers, 2013; Leslie, Friedman, & German, 2004), it is also possible that infants could learn that others’ actions are predictable based on certain observable factors.”
How (not) to measure infant Theory of Mind: Testing the replicability and validity of four non-verbal measures (2018, background): “According to nativist accounts, the findings suggest that ToM is a domain-specific, probably modular, capacity which is online very early in ontogeny and probably even inborn (e.g., Carruthers, 2013; Leslie, 2005).”
