- Title
Why we assume it's all good: The role of theory of mind in early inherent feature inferences.
- Authors
Bartsch, Karen; Estes, David
- Abstract
Cimpian & Salomon's (C&S's) characterization of a domain- general inherence heuristic, available to young children, underplays the importance of our early interest in and recognition of agency, intentionality, and mental life. A consideration of the centrality of desires, goals, and agency in our earliest reasoning suggests an alternative, perhaps complementary, account of our tendency to be satisfied with the status quo.
