The perception of others as intentional agents is fundamental to human experience and foundational to development. Recent research reveals that this cornerstone of social perception has its roots early in infancy, and that it is influenced by the universal, early-emerging human experience of engaging in goal-directed action. Infants’ own action capabilities correlate with their emerging tendency to view others’ actions as organized by goals. Moreover, interventions that facilitate new goal-directed actions alter infants’ perception of those same actions in others. These effects seem to depend on the first-person aspects of infants’ experience. These findings open new questions about how doing leads to knowing in the social domain.
