Understanding Norms Without a Theory of Mind
I argue that having a theory of mind requires having at least implicit knowledge of the norms of the community, and that an implicit understanding of the normative is what drives the development of a theory of mind.

متن کاملReading a Robot's Mind: A Model of Utterance Understanding Based on the Theory of Mind Mechanism
The purpose of this paper is to construct a methodology for smooth communications between humans and robots. Here, focus is on a mindreading mechanism, which is indispensable in humanhuman communications. We propose a model of utterance understanding based on this mechanism. Concretely speaking, we apply the model of a mindreading system (Baron-Cohen 1996) to a model of human-robot communicatio...

متن کاملAbsent without leave; a neuroenergetic theory of mind wandering

According to the Neuroenergetics Theory of attention (NeT), this lack of control is often due to fatigue of the relevant processing units in the brain caused by insufficient resupply of the neuron's preferred fuel, lactate, from nearby astrocytes. A simple drift model of information processing accounts for response-time st...
