How puzzling is the social artifact puzzle?
Tom ZiemkeSam ThellmanPublished in: The Behavioral and brain sciences (2023)
In this commentary we would like to question (a) Clark and Fischer's characterization of the "social artifact puzzle" - which we consider less puzzling than the authors, and (b) their account of social robots as depictions involving three physical scenes - which to us seems unnecessarily complex. We contrast the authors' model with a more parsimonious account based on attributions.
