DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Philosophy Talk: How can we know what others are thinking? A critique of Simulation Theory as an explanation for Theory of Mind.</p>=0D=0A=
<p>How do we understand what others are thinking and communicating? Do we merely simulate their mental states or &ldquo;put ourselves in their shoes&rdquo;? Or do we need to invoke more mental skills? Emily Kotow will argue for a fuller theory for understanding other minds &ndash; one that includes other cognitive behavioural tools and draws on research on infants and nonhuman animals. Emily Kotow is a PhD student in philosophy at the University of Ottawa. Her dissertation, in cognitive science, focuses on animal minds and perspective-taking.</p>
