TI  - Simpler for evolution: Secondary representation in apes, children, and ancestors
Y1  - 1998///
N2  - Great apes show behavioural evidence for secondary representation similar to that of children of about two years of age. However, there is no convincing evidence for metarepresentation in apes. A good evolutionary interpretation should be parsimonious and must bring developmental and comparative data in accord. I propose a model based on the work of Perner (1991) and close by pointing out a logical flaw in Heyes? second proposed experiment.
