Do knowledge representations facilitate learning under epistemic uncertainty?
Isaac J Handley-MinerLiane YoungPublished in: The Behavioral and brain sciences (2021)
Phillips and colleagues argue that knowledge representations are more fundamental than belief representations because they better facilitate social learning. We suggest that existing theory of mind paradigms may be ill-equipped to adequately evaluate this claim. Future study should explore learning in situations where there is uncertainty about one's own and others' knowledge, which better mirror real-world social learning contexts.
