1. Directly unrelated to the topic, but I was looking for a reference that discusses correct and incorrect ways to interpret fMRI. Actually, even the Wikipedia page on fMRI looks quite informative - particularly sections on 'Matching neural activity to the BOLD signal' and 'Issues in fMRI'.
2. The 'Specialized processing of belief-like states' account based on encountering and registration that Apperly and Butterfill (2009) discuss seems consistent with some discussions in Infant Cognition and Metarepresentations courses. The claim then is that fast, spontaneous ToM-like inferences depend on the visual system, and I was wondering if there's evidence for fast, spontaneous ToM-like inferences without visual input.
3. One of the criticisms of the Belief-like states account Apperly and Butterfill (2009) mention is it does not explain efficient Level 2 Perspective Taking. I'm not sure if I'm misremembering, but apparantly, in the video you also mentioned that even Level 2 Perspective can be fast or efficient? To explain that, I was wondering if the notion of flow can be evoked to explain how, at times, we sail through seemingly complex tasks even though at other times they are still effortful. Although indeed, this also requires explaining what exactly flow is, and all the research about flow states that I'm unaware about.
4. I also wonder that Samson, Apperly, et al. (2009) studies on Spontaneous Perspective (34:00 in the video; or their follow-ups) controlled for the distance between stimuli as well as whether the stimuli in both with-agent and without-agent condition appeared in both same-hemifield vs different-hemifield.
