Infants watched animations in which an animal was either provided information or prevented from gathering information about the actual location of an object. The animal then searched successfully or failed to retrieve it. Infants\u2019 looking times suggest that they expected searches to be effective when\u2014and only when\u2014the agent had had access to the relevant information. This result supports the view that infants\u2019 possess an incipient metarepresentational ability that permits them to attribute beliefs to agents. We discuss the viability of more conservative explanations and the relationship between this early ability and later forms of \u2018theory of mind\u2019 that appear only after children have become experienced verbal communicators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[19,5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dan.sperber.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dan.sperber.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dan.sperber.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dan.sperber.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dan.sperber.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=125"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.dan.sperber.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1578,"href":"https:\/\/www.dan.sperber.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125\/revisions\/1578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dan.sperber.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dan.sperber.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dan.sperber.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
