Abstract

Abstract: Comparative and developmental psychology are engaged in a search for the evolutionary and developmental origins of the perceptions of "intentions" and "desires," and of epistemic states such as "ignorance" and "false belief." Shanker & King (S&K) remind us that these are merely words to describe public events: All organisms that can discriminate states of "knowledge" in others have learned to do this through observation of publicly available information.
