Eye tracking uncovered great apes' ability to anticipate that other individuals will act according to false beliefs
Using a novel eye-tracking test, we recently showed that great apes anticipate that other individuals will act according to false beliefs.

One key question raised by our study is why apes have passed our tests but not previous ones. In this article, we consider this question by det...
متن کاملGreat apes' understanding of other individuals' line of sight.
Previous research has shown that many social animals follow the gaze of other individuals.
