Onset of Theory of Mind: Methodological Considerations.
Glenn, Sheila A.; And Others
Early Child Development and Care, v86 p39-51 1993
Presents 2 studies that examined theory of mind: first studied false belief in 3-4 year olds, and second studied second order attribution in 4 year olds. Results indicated that, when the test situation is realistic and actively involves the children, understanding of ignorance and false belief is seen at a younger age than when the traditional scenario is used.
