Peer reviewedNewman, Denis; Bruce, Bertram C. – Discourse Processes, 1986
Uses an analysis of children's interpretations of a complex episode of social interaction to illustrate three features that distinguish them from robot plans and that form a basis for a theory of the development of social action: human plans (1) are social, (2) operate on interpretations, and (3) are used, not just executed.
