Cognitive Ethology and exploring attention in real-world scenes.
We sought to understand what types of information people use when they infer the attentional states of others. In our study, two groups of participants viewed pictures of social interactions. One group was asked to report where the people in the pictures were directing their attention and how they (the group) knew it. The other group was simply asked to describe the pictures. We recorded partic...
متن کاملExploring inductive bias of visual scenes
When people encode a representation of a scene, they do not necessarily represent the exact locations and orientations of the constituent elements. Instead, people rely on preexisting inductive biases to simplify their encoding of new scene configurations. We investigated people’s inductive biases in their memory for configurations of simple 2D shapes (such as circles, triangles, etc.) using a ...

Studies of attention, often conducted in artificial laboratory experiments, may have limited validity when performance in the natural world is considered. For instance, for over two decades investigations of "reflexive" and "volitional" attention have tended to be grounded in methodologies that do not capture the demands of attention in everyday life. Recent studies suggest these laboratory inv...
متن کاملAnimal Minds, Cognitive Ethology, and Ethics
Our goal in this paper is to provide enough of an account of the origins of cognitive ethology and the controversy surrounding it to help ethicists to gauge for themselves how to balance skepticism and credulity about animal minds when communicating with scientists. We believe that ethicists’ arguments would benefit from better understanding of the historical roots of ongoing controversies. It ...

This article addresses the question of mental states in animals as viewed in 'cognitive ethology'. In effect, this field of research aims at studying naturally occurring behaviours such as food caching, individual recognition, imitation, tool use and communication in wild animals, in order to seek for evidence of mental experiences, self-awareness and intentionality. Cognitive ethologists use s...
