The Role of Strategic Planning in Accessing False-Belief Understanding.
Hala, Suzanne; Chandler, Michael
Child Development, v67 n6 p2948-66 Dec 1996
Three-year olds participated in a deceptive action as part of another person's false-belief test. Found that children who had strategically planned a deception were better at answering questions about another's false beliefs than children who had merely watched the deceptive action. This effect was not found when children performed the same action without a deceptive intent. (BC)
