Shared intentionality and the representation of groups; Or, how to build a socially adept robot

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Pietraszewski provides a compelling case that representations of certain interaction-types are the cognitive primitives that allow all tokens of group-in-conflict to be represented within the mind. Here, I argue that the folk concept GROUP encodes shared intentions and goals as more central than these interaction-types, and that providing a computational theory of social groups will be more difficult than Pietraszewski envisages.
