Do We Adopt the Intentional Stance Toward Humanoid Robots?

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
In daily social interactions, we need to be able to navigate efficiently through our social environment. According to Dennett (1971), explaining and predicting others’ behavior with reference to mental states (adopting the intentional stance) allows ...
