Imaginative animals, pretending children ; A history of pretense in animals and children / Pretending as representation : a developmental and comparative view / Language in pretense during the second year : what it can tell us about "pretending" in pretense and the "know-how" about the mind / A longitudinal and cross-sectional study of the emergence of the symbolic function in children between 15 and 19 months of age : pretend play, object permanence understanding, and self-recognition / Caregiver-child social pretend play : what transpires? / Just through the looking glass : children's understanding of pretense / Young children's understanding of pretense and other fictional mental states / Pretend play, metarepresentation and theory of mind / Replica toys, stories, and a functional theory of mind / Young children's animal-role pretend play / Imaginary companions and elaborate fantasy in childhood : discontinuity with nonhuman animals / Pretending in monkeys / Pretending primates : play and simulation in the evolution of primate societies / Representational capacities for pretense with scale models and photographs in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) / Pretending in free-ranging rehabilitant orangutans / Seeing with the mind's eye : eye-covering play in orangutans and Japanese macaques / Possible precursors of pretend play in nonpretend actions of captive gorillas (Gorilla gorilla) / Pretending culture : social and cognitive features of pretense in apes and humans / Empathy in a bonobo / Pretend play in a signing gorilla / Exploring pretense in animals and children / Robert W.

It is well known that children's activities are full of pretending and imagination, but it is less appreciated that animals can also show similar activities. Originally published in 2002, this book focuses on comparing and contrasting children's and animals' pretenses and imaginative activities. In the text, overviews of research present conflicting interpretations of children's understanding of the psychology of pretense, and describe sociocultural factors which influence children's pretenses. Studies of nonhuman primates provide examples of their pretenses and other simulative activities, explore their representational and imaginative capacities and compare their skills with children. Although the psychological requirements for pretending are controversial, evidence presented in this volume suggests that great apes and even monkeys may share capacities for imagination with children, and that children's early pretenses may be less psychological than they appear.
