What primates know about other minds and how often they use it: A computational approach to comparative theory of mind.

Can non-human primates (NHPs) represent other minds? Answering this question is difficult because primates can fail tasks due to a lack of motivation or succeed through simpler strategies. Here, we address these challenges through a computational theory-testing framework for NHP Theory of Mind. In this framework, each...

What Do You Mean? Exploring the Alleged Theory of Mind Abilities of Large Language Models

The results reveal that, although LLMs occasionally succeed in decoding communicative intentions, their performance is not attributable to human-like ToM reasoning, and offers insight into their interpretive biases, contributing to a deeper understanding of their linguistic capabilities.
