TLDR
Results confirm and extend a 'negative' finding obtained with capuchin monkeys, namely that during object-choice tasks monkeys do not readily use visual co-orientation or engage in perspective-taking to enhance their success.About:

The eyes have it: the neuroethology, function and evolution of social gaze
TL;DR: The hypothesis that gaze following is "hard-wired" in the brain, and may be localized within a circuit linking the superior temporal sulcus, amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gaze cueing of attention: visual attention, social cognition, and individual differences.
TL;DR: This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of past and current research into the perception of gaze behavior and its effect on the observer, including gaze-cueing paradigm that has been used to investigate the mechanisms of joint attention.

How we know our own minds: The relationship between mindreading and metacognition
TL;DR: Four different accounts of the relationship between third-person mindreading and first-person metacognition are compared and evaluated, and the “mindreading is prior” model is developed, showing how it predicts introspection for perceptual and quasi-perceptual mental events while claiming that metacognitive access to the authors' own attitudes always results from swift unconscious self-interpretation.

Use of experimenter-given cues in dogs.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the phenomenon of dogs responding to cues given by humans is better analysed as a case of interspecific communication than in terms of discrimination learning.

A comparative analysis of animals' understanding of the human pointing gesture
Ádám Miklósi,Krisztina Soproni +1 more
TL;DR: There is no convincing evidence for the assumption that the competitive lifestyles of apes would inhibit the utilization of this human pointing gesture, and domestication as a special evolutionary factor in the case of some species falls short in explaining high levels of pointing comprehension in some non-domestic species.

Understanding motor events-a neurophysiological study
TL;DR: It is reported here that many neurons of the rostral part of inferior premotor cortex of the monkey discharge during goal-directed hand movements such as grasping, holding, and tearing, which indicates that premotor neurons can retrieve movements not only on the basis of stimulus characteristics, but also on the based of the meaning of the observed actions.

Machiavellian Intelligence: Social Expertise and the Evolution of Intellect in Monkeys, Apes, and Humans
Richard W. Byrne,Andrew Whiten +1 more
TL;DR: The Machiavellian intelligence hypothesis as discussed by the authors is based on the ontogeny of tactical deception in humans and the ontology of non-social origins of intelligence, including the experimental context of intellect, the evolution of purpose.
Book
How monkeys see the world
TL;DR: This chapter summarizes the author's research into how monkeys see the world through the lenses of vocal communication and social relationships and describes how these perceptions changed over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
What minds have in common is space : Spatial mechanisms serving joint visual attention in infancy
TL;DR: For instance, this article showed that infants look where someone else is looking in the first 18 months of their life, by extrapolating from the orientation of the mother's head and eyes to the intersection of the line of sight within a relatively precise zone of the infant's own visual space.
