Siblings and Theory of Mind in Deaf Native Signing Children.

Woolfe, Tyron; Want, Stephen C.; Siegal, Michael

Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, v8 n3 p340-47 Sum 2003

A study examined the basis of "theory of mind" (ToM) reasoning in 20 native signers (ages 4-8) of British Sign Language. Children and their siblings were given a measure of the quality of sibling relations. Sibling quality as perceived by siblings predicted children's ToM score over age and referential communication.
