Chris Baker (MIT)

Abstract:

I will present a computational framework for understanding human Theory of Mind (ToM): our conception of others' mental states, how they relate to the world, and how they cause behavior. Humans use ToM to predict others' actions, given their mental states, but also to do the reverse: attribute mental states--beliefs, desires, knowledge and other thoughts--to explain observed behavior and learn about the world.
