    "title": "Bootstrapping from Language in the Analogical Theory of Mind Model",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Many psychologists have argued that language acquisition\nplays an important role in the development of Theory of Mind\n(ToM) reasoning in children. Several accounts of this\ninteraction exist: some believe that language gives children\nthe ability to express already formed ToM reasoning (e.g. He,\nBolz, & Baillargeon, 2011), while others argue that learning\nspecific grammatical structures engenders new reasoning\nabilities (e.g. de Villiers & Pyers, 1997). Questions remain\nabout the mechanism by which this interaction occurs. In this\npaper, we show that the Analogical Theory of Mind (AToM;\nRabkina et al., 2017) computational model can bootstrap\naspects of ToM reasoning from sentential complement\ntraining, and that its performance matches improvement\npatterns of children who are trained using similar stimuli.\nThis provides an implemented algorithmic account of\nbootstrapping ToM reasoning from language within a broader\nmodel of ToM development.",
