Action understanding as inverse planning. (2009, background): “Even young infants can apply a teleological stance to a novel entity, without being explicitly told it is appropriate, based either on the agents’ actions (Csibra et al., 1999) or its appearance (Guajardo & Woodward, 2004; Johnson, Slaughter, & Carey, 1998; Saxe, Tenenbaum, & Carey, 2005).”
Recognizing Communicative Intentions in Infancy (2010, background): “Ostensive signals have been shown to induce gaze following in older infants as well (e.g. Johnson et al., 1998), and such a response is more likely to occur if the gaze shift is accompanied by further communicative signals, such as verbalization and pointing (Flom et al., 2004).”
On the nature and origin of intuitive theories : learning, physics and psychology (2015, background): “While perceptual features such as faces or eyes are useful, they are not necessary [85].”
Two problems of intersubjectivity (2009, background): “The infant’s ability to track another person’s eye direction (Baron-Cohen, 1995; Csibra & Gergely, 2006; Johnson et al., 1998; Senju et al., 2008) is an important capacity for understanding where they are looking and what they might take as significant.”
Developmental origin of the animate-inanimate distinction. (2001, background): “It might also prove productive to use the kind of design employed by Johnson et al. (1998) in which infants’ behavior toward people, animate-like entities (e.g., puppets), and inanimate objects are compared.”
The Folk Psychology of Free Will: Fits and Starts (2004, background): “…entity that has mental states (Johnson, 2000, p. 22).4 For gaze-following is often taken to reflect the ‘implicit attribution of a mind to the gazer’ (Johnson et al., 1998, p. 233), and the experiments of Johnson and colleagues controlled to exclude many other deflationary interpretations of…”
Human Learning in Atari (2017, background): “…– rich representations about objects and physics (Spelke 1990; Baillargeon 2004; Baillargeon et al. 2009; Rips and Hespos 2015) and about agents (Johnson, Slaughter, and Carey 1998; Tremoulet and Feldman 2000; Csibra et al. 2003; Schlottmann et al. 2006; Spelke and Kinzler 2007; Csibra…”
