Title: BELIEF-LESS COORDINATION
Abstract: Meta-representation does not always facilitate social interaction.
I illustrate this claim focusing on the case of coordination in Hi-lo games, and conjecture that people coordinate using a mode of reasoning that does not require the representation of others’ beliefs. I compare this sort of belief-less reasoning with theories
that appeal to limited meta-representation, and present evidence indicating that people employ both – with meta-representation being used less frequently in coordinative than in competitive tasks.
