Jusqu’à quel point les nourrissons possèdent-ils une compréhension représentationnelle sophistiquée des actions posées par d'autres (c.-à-d., comprennent-ils le comportement en termes d’états psychologiques) ou ont-ils une compréhension comportementale plus simple (c.-à-d., comprennent-ils le comportement en termes de règles et d’éventualités)? Comment nous est-il possible d’analyser la distinction entre ces différents niveaux de compréhension?
