Developing Organization of Mental Verbs and Theory of Mind in Middle Childhood: Evidence From Extensions.
Schwanenflugel, Paula J.; Henderson, Robbie L.; Fabricius, William V.
Developmental Psychology, v34 n3 p512-24 May 1998
Assessed developments in the theory of mind suggested by changes in the organization of cognitive verb extensions during elementary school years. Found three major changes with development: increased understanding of the role of memory in input functions, increased interrelatedness of memory- and comprehension-related verbs, and increased importance of cognitive certainty and uncertainty engaged by constructive processing verbs.
