10
Two elements of psychological time sensory simultaneity intentional simultaneity ・ is described by synaptic interaction simultaneity ・ compactifies spatio-temporarily distributed neural activities into sensory qualia. ・ complements sensory simultaneity in the formation of percepts ・ gives rise to spatial structures in perception

Povinelli, D. J. & Eddy, T. J. (1996) What young chimpanzees know about seeing. Monographs of the Society for Research on Child Development, No 247, Vol 61. Do chimps know that others see?
27
Chimpanzees exhibit social behavior to the mirror images because they can’t perceive intentional states in others?
