Simulation (mostly) rules: a commentary.
I consider three issues: children's attribution of belief-based emotions, the contribution of language input to children's developing theory of mind, and the default settings we assume in our dealings with the world. I ask whether the proposals made by Mitchell, Currie and Ziegler can help throw light on each issue (Mitchell, Currie, & Ziegler, 2009).
