Understanding and sharing intentions: The origins of cultural cognition

TL;DR: It is argued and present evidence that great apes understand the basics of intentional action, but they still do not participate in activities involving joint intentions and attention (shared intentionality), and children's skills of shared intentionality develop gradually during the first 14 months of life.

Consciousness, accessibility, and the mesh between psychology and neuroscience.

TL;DR: This target article argues for an abstract solution to the problem and exhibits a source of empirical data that is relevant, data that show that in a certain sense phenomenal consciousness overflows cognitive accessibility and can be found a neural realizer of this overflow.

'Like me': a foundation for social cognition.

TL;DR: The 'like me' nature of others is the starting point for social cognition, not its culmination.

Putting Education in “Educational” Apps Lessons From the Science of Learning

TL;DR: A way to define the potential educational impact of current and future apps is offered and how the design and use of educational apps aligns with known processes of children’s learning and development is shown to offer a framework that can be used by parents and designers alike.

Statistical Learning by 8-Month-Old Infants

TL;DR: The present study shows that a fundamental task of language acquisition, segmentation of words from fluent speech, can be accomplished by 8-month-old infants based solely on the statistical relationships between neighboring speech sounds.

Imitation of facial and manual gestures by human neonates.

TL;DR: Infants between 12 and 21 days of age can imitate both facial and manual gestures; this behavior cannot be explained in terms of either conditioning or innate releasing mechanisms.

Mirror neurons and the simulation theory of mind-reading.

TL;DR: The activity of mirror neurons, and the fact that observers undergo motor facilitation in the same muscular groups as those utilized by target agents, are findings that accord well with simulation theory but would not be predicted by theory theory.

The Theory of Event Coding (TEC): a framework for perception and action planning.

TL;DR: A new framework for a more adequate theoretical treatment of perception and action planning is proposed, in which perceptual contents and action plans are coded in a common representational medium by feature codes with distal reference, showing that the main assumptions are well supported by the data.

Language within our grasp

TL;DR: It is proposed here that an observation/execution matching system provides a necessary bridge from'doing' to'communicating', as the link between actor and observer becomes a link between the sender and the receiver of each message.
