title: How to solve the distinguishability problem: Triangulation without explicit training.
abstract: Heyes's (1998) triangulation approach to distinguishing a "theory" of mind (ToM) from a "theory" of behavior (ToB) in chimpanzees fails. The ToB theorist can appeal to the explicit training sessions and analogical reasoning to explain/predict the chimpanzees' behaviors. An alternative triangulation experiment is sketched, demonstrating how the removal of such training sessions paves the way toward solving the distinguishability problem.
