Crashing the tea party: Imagining alternative explanations
1Department of Psychology, Oakland University.
Abstract:
Bastos and Krupenye (2026, Science, 391: 583-586) present an innovative series of studies in which they explore the capacity of a single enculturated bonobo, Kanzi, to represent pretend objects-in other words-"imagination." Their experiments involved pantomimed actions of pouring and emptying juice or placing and dumping out grapes from transparent cups or bowls and asking Kanzi to indicate where the juice or grape would remain, indicating that he was tracking an imagined object, but they failed to account for cuing or alternative explanations.
