| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Humans can freely manipulate mental representations, to think about reasons, prepare for the future, and think about others. In this study, we examined "mental independence," the ability to manipulate mental representations not limited to space and time, in various animal species. The results revealed that: 1) The ability to project oneself into the future situation is quite different between species, and humans over five years of age can achieve this; 2) chimpanzees may understand the false beliefs of others; 3) in primates and companion animals, the experience of self influences the understanding of others' experiences. These results indicate that the emergent capacity for mental independence is also present in non-human animal species.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、独創的な研究手法を用いることで、多様な動物種や若齢の乳幼児も心的表象を操作し、環境を理解し、自己を理解し、他者を理解することを明らかにした。萌芽的な能力であれ、「心の自立性」が霊長類をはじめとする種々の動物にも分有されているという事実は、ヒト観を刷新するものとなり、動物への理解と愛情を育み、地球化時代の新たな人類の行動指針を呈示するものである。また、その発達過程を明らかにしたことは、適切な子育てへの提言ともなる。
