| description | Adults effortlessly and automatically infer complex pat-
terns of goals, beliefs, and other mental states as the causes
of others’ actions. Yet before the last decade little was known
about the developmental origins of these abilities in early
infancy. Our understanding of infant social cognition has
now improved dramatically: even preverbal infants appear
to perceive goals, preferences (Kushnir, Xu, & Wellman, in
press), and even beliefs from sparse observations of inten-
tional agents’ behavior. Furthermore, they use these infer-
ences to predict others’ behavior in novel contexts and to
make social evaluations (Hamlin, Wynn, & Bloom, 2007). Keywords:
