{ "pk": 21618, "title": "Communication-based belief attribution: Do infants encode better others' beliefs induced via communication or the ones induced via visual cues?", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Studies suggest that infants track others' beliefs based on visual information (Scott & Baillargeon, 2017 but see Dörrenberg, Rakoczy, Liszkowski, 2018). However, research targeting whether infants understand that others' beliefs can be induced via communication is scarce, although most of the human belief-repertoire is acquired via communication. We presented eighteen-month-olds (Experiment1:N=34; Experiment2-replication:N=35) with a false belief (FB) scenario where the initial belief was induced via communication, aiming to measure their informative pointing (for an agent mistaken about a toy's location compared to a true belief scenario). Instead of more pointing to the toy's current location, in the FB condition we found an unexpected ‚Äòaltercentric' effect: infants pointed more to the empty location where the agent falsely believed the object to be). Next, we asked whether infants show different altercentric effects for visually induced beliefs (Experiment3: N=35). Results replicated the altercentric effect, suggesting a potentially stronger encoding of visually induced beliefs.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Psychology; Cognitive development; Social cognition; Theory of Mind; Gesture analysis" } ], "section": "Papers with Poster Presentation", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7mn8x1ft", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Bartug", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Celik", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Central European University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Agnes", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Kovacs", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Central European University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2024-01-01T13:00:00-05:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/21618/galley/11217/download/" }, { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/21618/galley/14526/download/" }, { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/21618/galley/22015/download/" } ] }
