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): “We have a universal tendency to interpret each other’s actions as intentional and goal-directed [4, 6, 10, 11, 25, 31, 37], and our ability to communicate our intentions plays a crucial role in our collaborations [34].”
'Obsessed with goals': functions and mechanisms of teleological interpretation of actions in humans. (2007, background): “Woodward (1998) demonstrated that when 6-month-old infants see a hand repeatedly grasping one of two objects, they anticipate that the same object would be grasped again even when the spatial location of the objects are rearranged.”
Two reasons to abandon the false belief task as a test of theory of mind. (2000, background): “, 1995 ; Woodward , 1998 ) .”
Including Deontic Reasoning as Fundamental to Theory of Mind (2008, background): “Still younger infants identify actions with their goal objects [Woodward, 1998].”
Social understanding and self-regulation predict pre-schoolers’ sharing with friends and disliked peers (2015, methodology): “It revealed that infants’ looking pattern was highly significant, t(33) ¼ 2.681, p ¼ .01, replicating earlier findings (Woodward, 1998).”
Event structure in perception and conception. (2001, background): “The plausibility of this hypothesis is strengthened by the finding that infants can identify features of event structure early in development (Baldwin, Baird, Saylor, & Clark, submitted; Meltzoff, 1995; Woodward, 1998; Woodward & Sommerville, 2000; Wynn, 1996; Wynn & Chiang, 1998).”
Mind Perception Is the Essence of Morality (2012, background): “…other minds, targeting theory of mind (Baron-Cohen, Leslie, & Frith, 1985; Gopnik & Wellman, 1992; Premack & Woodruff, 1978; Wimmer & Perner, 1983; Woodward, 1998), mentalizing (Frith & Frith, 2003), and perspective taking (Epley, Caruso, & Bazerman, 2006; Galinsky & Moskowitz, 2000; Stotland,…”
Actor-observer asymmetries in explanations of behavior: new answers to an old question. (2007, background): “Desires derive from goal directedness, which is a conceptual primitive to which infants 6 to 9 months old are sensitive (Woodward, 1998) and that may originate in dedicated neural structures found even in monkeys (Rizzolatti, Fadiga, Fogassi, & Gallese, 1996).”
