summary | The ability to form on-line predictions about the likely outcomes of ongoing events is a prerequisite for a number of social cognitive abilities, including coordinating one's actions with others, the basis of our human ability to cooperate with one another. Although cooperation and collaboration are hypothesized to be defining features of human ontogeny, it was unclear whether human infants had the prerequisite ability to generate predictions concerning others' actions. In this talk, I will present both behavioural and neuroimaging data from infants suggesting that indeed this ability is present in the first year of life, and I will discuss potential cognitive and neural mechanisms that may be recruited in support of this ability. |
