Social Cognition in Infancy.
Moore, Chris
Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, v63 n4 p167-74 1998
Maintains that Carpenter, Nagell, and Tomasello's (1998) data reveal little definitive information on cognitive processes involved in infants' social interactive behaviors. Evaluates support for Carpenter et al.'s claims for infant social cognition and discusses the nature of infant cognition. Maintains that what is needed is experimental evidence in which children's behavior at relevant ages is compared under different conditions. (Author/KB)
