The overarching goal of my research program is two-fold. First, I aim to develop a model of the infant intention-attribution system that incorporates the early detection of animacy and the cognitive processes that enable infants to recognize, interpret, predict, and learn from others' intentional actions. Second, I aim to use this model to more fully understand these abilities (or, perhaps, the differences in these abilities) in cases of mental and developmental disorders (i.e., autism, depression, and psychopathy) and in closely-related species (i.e., apes, monkeys). Within this framework, I have previously focused on investigations of infants' general ability to recognize goals. I propose here to extend the methods to better understand the fundamental, underlying abilities and mechanisms.

我的研究计划的总体目标有两个。首先，我的目标是开发一个婴儿意图归因系统的模型，该系统结合了对生命的早期发现和认知过程，使婴儿能够识别、解释、预测和学习他人的故意行为。其次，我的目标是使用这个模型来更充分地理解精神和发育障碍(即自闭症、抑郁症和精神病)以及近亲物种(即猿、猴子)的这些能力(或者，也许这些能力的差异)。在这个框架内，我以前的重点是调查婴儿识别目标的一般能力。我建议在这里扩展这些方法，以更好地理解基本的、潜在的能力和机制。
