Next week in my Social and Cultural Dynamics course we move to game theoretical approaches to social interactions. The goal is to compare and complement social cognition and game theoretical approaches 1/n

Social cognition providing models of cognitive mechanisms for processing information, making decisions and interacting; game theory providing a decidedly interpersonal perspective, and a strong incentive-based perspective (nb. not necessarily economic incentives) 2/n

guest-starring a discussion of how traditional cognitive phenomena (ToM) can be tackled from a game theoretical perspective. 3/3

Also, the @MarieDevaine's paper on ToM in primates could be an interesting addition to the discussion of causal inference in the social intelligence hypothesis in the Rethinking course, @rlmcelreath (as if things weren't complicated already)
