The Roots of Mindblindness
This paper challenges the hypothesis that the type of social impairment observed in children with autism is evidence of an underlying malfunction in their ‘Theory of Mind’, resulting in ‘mindblindness’. To establish this point, the paper takes up two interesting ideas in the Theory of Mind literature, purged of their Cartesianism: first, that the study of autism does indeed provide us with critical insights into the development of social understa…
How can we know the dancer from the dance
We argue that dynamic-systems theory (DST) offers researchers a promising alternative to the information-processing framework that has dominated the study of primate social communication. DST rejects a linear view of communication in which a sender transmits a signal to a receiver, who then decodes that signal for its information content. Instead, dynamic-systems theory envisions communication as an intrinsically creative process that unfolds as …
What Children Know When They Know What a Name Is
Nativist theories of language insist that an infant must possess some abstract concepts about the structure of language or, at the very least, some wordlearning biases to be able to acquire the sorts of skills and knowledge displayed by competent languagespeakers. A direct consequence of Cartesian epistemology, nativism limits the role of linguistic anthropology to validating its claim that children typically acquire language in essentially the s…
