Toward an Integration of Deep Learning and Neuroscience (2016, background): “It appears that heuristically speciﬁed notions of goals and agency are infused into human psychological development from early infancy and that notions of agency are used to bootstrap heuristics for ethical evaluation (Hamlin et al., 2007; Skerry and Spelke, 2014).”
Social Effects of Movement Synchrony: Increased Infant Helpfulness only Transfers to Affiliates of Synchronously Moving Partners (2016, background): “Previous work has shown that infants can direct their prosociality toward “good” social partners (Cirelli et al., 2014a,b; Dunfield & Kuhlmeier, 2010; Hamlin et al., 2007; Hamlin & Wynn, 2012) and that they appear to form social expectations about third-party affiliation by at least as young as 9 mo”
At 6–9 months, human infants know the meanings of many common nouns (2012, neutral): “sophistication in social cognition (30, 31).”
A New Look at Children’s Prosocial Motivation (2013, background): “Not only do 6- and 10- month-old infants engage in social evaluation by preferring helpful over unhelpful actors (Hamlin et al., 2007), but by 21 months of age, children also take into account an adult’s past actions when subsequently deciding whether to help or not (Dunfield & Kuhlmeier, 2010).”
Moral Judgment and Action in Preverbal Infants and Toddlers (2013, background): “Like adults do when making moral judgments, then, infants evaluate Helpers and Hinderers for their goal-relevant, social behaviors, rather than for performing some specific physical act or causing some outcome.”
The Cognitive Neuroscience of Moral Judgment (2010, background): “(Important and relevant developments in other fields, such as animal behavior and developmental psychology (de Waal, 2006; Hamlin et al., 2007; Warneken et al., 2007), are beyond the scope of this article.)”
Moral Foundations Theory: The Pragmatic Validity of Moral Pluralism (2012, background): “For example, infants do not like puppets who harm others, but they do like puppets who help others (Hamlin et al., 2007).”
Three-month-olds show a negativity bias in their social evaluations. (2010, methodology): “The habituation stimuli and general testing situation were as in Hamlin et al. (2007; events are viewable at http:// www.yale.edu/infantlab/socialevaluation); all stimuli were presented live.”
False-belief understanding in infants (2010, positive): “Common assumptions about this system are that: it operates without conscious awareness [17,44]; it applies to human or non-human agents [19, 45-49]; it is constrained by core principles such as rationality (agents pursue their goals in causally appropriate and efficient ways) [41,45,50,51]; and it i”
