The grammar of engagement I: framework and initial exemplification (2017, background): “[2] The coordination of attention and belief reasoning (cf. ‘shared intentionality’; Tomasello, 2008, 2014) are further central to the debate concerning how theory of mind develops in the child and whether this development may be equated with one or several cognitive abilities (see Apperly &…”
The Centrality of Language in Human Cognition (2016, background): “…for limiting language learning in a range of nonhuman animals may lie much closer to factors of cooperation and motivation to share information with others (e.g., Tomasello, 2014) rather than resulting from insufficient memory, motor control, or a lack of a putative language acquisition module.”

Answering Schrödinger's question: A free-energy formulation (2017, neutral): “Approaches in developmental psychology can be used to explore the dynamic ways in which human development differentiates (error-minimising) neurocognitive and biobehavioural patterns between individuals [70], while comparative, cross-cultural, computational and dynamical approaches in evolutionary p”

Theories of cognitive development: From Piaget to today (2015, background): “Accordingly, its emergence could be traced back to the cooperative turn in evolution that Tomasello (2014) in his Natural history of human thinking situates in Homo heidelbergensis (between 200,000 and 600,000 years before our era), when hominids began to systematically engage in collaborative…”
The Science of Wisdom in a Polarized World: Knowns and Unknowns (2020, background): “…depends on in-group cooperation (Hammond & Axelrod, 2006; Requejo & Camacho, 2013; Tomasello, Melis, Tennie, Wyman, & Herrmann, 2012), which requires the ability to consider different viewpoints and to reconcile them with one’s own viewpoint (i.e., to mentalize; Narvaez, 2014; Tomasello, 2014).”
Coordinate to cooperate or compete: Abstract goals and joint intentions in social interaction (2016, background): “By grounding strategic social reasoning in a theory of planning we can begin to investigate the mechanisms of joint intentionality and how these joint intentions enable the scale and scope of human cooperative behavior (Tomasello, 2014).”
