The standard interpretation in the field is that infants understand preferential choice as a dispositional state of the agent. It is possible, however, that these social situations trigger the acquisition of more general, not necessarily an integrated person-specific knowledge. * ** *The studies presented in the lecture focus on determining agent behaviours that trigger learning on behalf of the infant. We propose that independently of an agent's nature, human or non-human, it is the agent's behaviour that will trigger learning about the objects involved in the agents' actions. For instance, a robot that shows its ability to communicate or shows other behaviours, like choice making or perceptual processing may very well share a human's perspective even in very young infants' eyes. * ** ** **
