The reorienting system of the human brain: from environment to theory of mind. (2008, unknown): “In general, strong evolutionary reasons link mechanisms for shifting attention to the development of social mechanisms for conspecific interactions in old and new world monkeys to mechanisms to infer others’ intention or ToM in higher apes and humans (Tomasello et al., 2001).”
Evidence from four lemur species that ringtailed lemur social cognition converges with that of haplorhine primates (2011, unknown): “…rateof gaze following for all lemur species was remarkably low (w10% of trials) compared to that reported for monkeys and apes (30e85% of trials) (Tomasello et al. 1998, 2001) and the tendency for ringtailed lemurs to look upward in the ‘gaze’ condition can be explained bya number of mechanisms,…”
Do capuchin monkeys, Cebus apella, know what conspecifics do and do not see? (2003, background): “However, it is unclear whether gaze following represents a case of visual perspective taking (Povinelli & Eddy 1996; Tomasello et al. 1999, 2001).”
Understanding and sharing intentions: The origins of cultural cognition (2005, background): “…(Okamoto et al. 2002; Tomasello et al. 1998), they check back with the looker (and eventually quit looking) if nothing is there (Call et al. 1998; Povinelli & Eddy 1996; Tomasello et al. 2001), and they even follow the gaze direction of humans to targets behind barriers (Tomasello et al. 1999).”
Gaze following in common ravens, Corvus corax: ontogeny and habituation (2007, background): “The adaptive advantage of this skill has been widely acknowledged as alerting individuals to the presence of relevant targets in the environment such as food, predators or conspecifics (Tomasello et al. 2001).”
Recognizing Communicative Intentions in Infancy (2010, background): “However, they hardly do so in infancy (Ferrari et al., 2000; Tomasello et al., 2001) and do not do so preferentially in ostensive contexts.”
Who, me? Can baboons infer the target of vocalizations? (2006, background): “They use gaze to target opponents and to recruit other individuals’ support in aggressive alliances (Sato & Nakamura 2001; Tomasello et al. 2001).”
Cross-species variation in gaze following and conspecific preference among great apes, human infants and adults (2014, background): “Moreover, macaques and chimpanzees display a relatively late onset for voluntary control of gaze following such as habituation to unreliable observers (Tomasello et al., 2001) and double-looks (Bräuer et al., 2005).”
