READ AND REVIEW THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE THEN ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS CLEARLY:
Understanding and sharing intentions: The origins of cultural cognition. Tomasello, M., Carpenter, M., Call, J., Behne, T., & Moll, H. Behavioral and Brain Sciences (2005) 28, 675-735.
This a lengthy and complex article, but it centers around a key idea: humans differ significantly from other anthropoids in that at about the age of 18 months, human children in all societies begin to mirror the activities of others. Neither monkeys nor apes will do this: This DOES seem to be a distinctively human characteristic. A child after the age of two will seek out situations where there are two roles, one of which they play, and the other of which YOU play. If you do not play your role, then the child will do things to get you to do it. This is human.
* Give an example of how, in your present activities, you use the human skill of shared, role-based learning, where you play one role, and you expect another to play the other role. Over time, the expectation is that one will be able to play both roles. Is this true of the example you present?
