Peter Hobson\u003c\/b\u003e (Ph.D., 1989, FRCPsych, CPsychol) is Tavistock Professor\u003cbr\u003e of Developmental Psychopathology in the University of London. He is an\u003cbr\u003e experimental psychologist and psychiatrist (and psychoanalyst), trained at\u003cbr\u003e Cambridge University and the Maudsley Hospital, London, and now at the\u003cbr\u003e Tavistock Clinic, London and the Institute of Child Health, University College,\u003cbr\u003e London. His primary research interest is the contribution of social\u003cbr\u003e relations to early cognitive as well as social development. His principal fields\u003cbr\u003e of study are early childhood autism, congenital blindness, mother–infant\u003cbr\u003e relations, and adult borderline personality disorder. His first book was\u003cbr\u003e entitled Autism and the development of mind (Erlbaum, 1993), and his second\u003cbr\u003e more accessible and wide-ranging book is called The Cradle of Thought\u003cbr\u003e (Oxford University Press, 2004).\u003c\/p\u003e This \u003ci\u003eMonograph\u003c\/i\u003e examines a series of ten studies conducted on the social-cognitive abilities of three young chimpanzees, ages one to four years. In the studies, all previously conducted with human infants, showed the chimpanzees’ abilities to understand and imitate the goal-directed actions of others, but not their \"rational\" choices. Each exhibited the ability to understand the visual perception of others, but not the precise focus of their attention. There was no evidence of any ability to reverse roles with a partner in a collaborative interaction, to comprehend the communicative comprehensions behind a pointing gesture, or to engage in genuine joint attention with others. These results suggest that the ontogeny of human social cognition comprises two relatively distinct trajectories: one for understanding intentional action and perception, common to all apes, and another for sharing psychological states with others in collaborative acts involving joint intentions and attentions, unique to the human species.","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990213771493,"sku":"NP9781405147262","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405147262.jpg?v=1761786932","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-emergence-of-social-cognition-in-three-young-chimpanzees-isbn-9781405147262","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
