Moore, Christi Camper; Moore, David Richard – Journal of Dance Education, 2021
This article connects the "Theory of Extended Mind" with the use of three-dimensional, physical objects in dance pedagogy.

Preston, Jesse Lee; Ritter, Ryan S.; Hepler, Justin – Cognition, 2013

Meanwhile, the rise of neuroscience has reignited old debates over mind-body dualism and the soul.…

Ferguson, Heather J.; Breheny, Richard – Cognition, 2011
The time-course of representing others' perspectives is inconclusive across the currently available models of ToM processing. We report two visual-world studies investigating how knowledge about a character's basic preferences (e.g. "Tom's favourite colour is pink") and higher-order desires (his wish to keep this preference secret) compete to…
