Baby steps on the path to understanding intentions
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 28 (5):717-718 (2005)
Abstract
Tomasello et al. lay out a three-step ontogenetic pathway for infants' understanding of intentional action. By this account, before 9 months, infants do not understand actions as being goal directed. However, we caution against drawing strong conclusions from negative findings, and, based on recent findings, propose that a key aspect of goal knowledge is present well before 9 months.DOI
