Finding Your Marbles: Does Preschoolers' Strategic Behavior Predict Later Understanding of Mind?
Hughes, Claire
Developmental Psychology, v34 n6 p1326-39 Nov 1998
Tested children at 3 to 4 years of age, and again 13 months later, on false-belief tasks and on four tests of executive function, or processes underlying goal-directed behavior. Results suggest that young children's understanding of mind is grounded in their growing competence in strategic planning and mental flexibility. (Author/BC)
