Machine Theory of Mind (2018, background): “An elementary component of humans’ theory of other agents is an assumption that their behaviour is goaldirected (Gergely et al., 1995; Woodward, 1998; Buresh & Woodward, 2007).”
Generating Legible Motion (2013, background): “III), we proposed such a model based on the theory of action interpretation [12] in psychology, the result having strong motivations in the principle of rational action [17].”
Universals and cultural variation in turn-taking in conversation (2009, background): “First, there is a functional basis for turns to be immediately adjacent (rather than overlapping or overly separated): a timely response makes clear its link to another speaker’s prior utterance (19), displaying that it is directly contingent on that utterance (20), and showing how the prior utteran”
Infants track action goals within and across agents. (2007, unknown): “This evidence comes from studies of infants’ social responses and social learning (Behne, Carpenter, Call, & Tomasello, 2005; Gergely, Bekkering, & Kiraly, 2002; Meltzoff, 1995; Repacholi & Gopnik, 1997; Tomasello & Haberl, 2003), and infants’ visual responses to observed events (Csibra, Gergely, Bi”
Modeling Human Understanding of Complex Intentional Action with a Bayesian Nonparametric Subgoal Model (2015, background): “For adults and infants, the assumption that others’ actions are rational functions of their beliefs, desires, and goals is fundamental (Dennett 1987; Gergely et al. 1995).”
Psychological and Sociomoral Reasoning in Infancy (2014, background): “The other set, which focused mainly on infants’ sensitivity to efficiency constraints, was conducted by Gergely Csibra, György Gergely, and their colleagues (e.g., Csibra, Gergely, Bíró, Koós, & Brockbank, 1999; Gergely, Bekkering, & Király, 2002; Gergely et al., 1995).”
Functional brain development in humans (2001, background): “From 12 months onwards, infants also seem to interpret the behaviour of adults in terms of their goals or intention”
Do infants apply the principle of rational action to human agents (2004, methodology): “To date, the phenomenon reported by Gergely et al. (1995) has almost exclusively”
The Naïve Utility Calculus: Computational Principles Underlying Commonsense Psychology. (2016, background): “A large body of work in cognitive development suggests that even infants expect agents to complete their goals as efficiently as possible [2-3,60-65].”
Two reasons to abandon the false belief task as a test of theory of mind. (2000, background): “They can attribute goals to other agents (Csibra, Gergely, BiroÂ, KooÂs & Brockbank, 1999; Gergely et al., 1995; Woodward, 1998).”
What Do Mirror Neurons Contribute to Human Social Cognition (2008, background): “There is also evidence that 9-month-old infants automatically ascribe goals to moving geometrical stimuli ( Gergely et al. , 1995; Csibra et al. , 1999 ).”
Goal attribution to inanimate agents by 6.5-month-old infants. (2008, methodology): “1A and B), and nor did Gergely and Csibra find such a result in any of their studies (Csibra et al., 1999; Csibra et al., 2003; Gergely et al., 1995).”
