Tan, Lin; Volling, Brenda L.; Gonzalez, Richard; LaBounty, Jennifer; Rosenberg, Lauren – Child Development, 2022
Emotion understanding develops rapidly in early childhood. Firstborn children (N = 231, 55% girls/45% boys, 86% White, 5% Black, 3% Asian, 4% Latinx, Mage = 29.92 months) were recruited into a longitudinal study from 2004 to 2008 in the United States and administered a series of tasks assessing eight components of young children's emotion…

Ringshaw, Jessica E.; Hamilton, Katie; Malcolm-Smith, Susan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Social impairment in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been linked to Theory of Mind (ToM) deficits. However, little research has investigated the relationship between ToM and moral decision-making in children with ASD. This study compared moral decision-making and ToM between aggregate-matched ASD and neurotypical boys (n = 38 per group; aged…

Blose, Brittany A.; Schenkel, Lindsay S. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2022
The aim of the current study was to examine theory of mind (ToM), the ability to infer the mental states of others, in young adults who are deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH), and to explore the influence of alexithymia, an inability to understand emotions of the self and others, on ToM performance in this group. Compared to participants with typical…

Executive Function and Theory of Mind in Children Living in Poverty: A Short-Term Longitudinal Study
Huang, Rong; Baker, Erin Ruth; Battista, Carmela; Liu, Qingyang – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
The early childhood years are critical for developing executive function (EF) and theory of mind (ToM). Prior literature suggests a robust relationship between EF and ToM; however, this relationship has seldom been investigated in children living in poverty. In addition, few studies have employed comprehensive ToM measures to explore how EF…

Kelly, Kristina; Davis, Susan; Clement, Jennifer – Teacher Education Advancement Network Journal, 2022
Discussions surrounding early years' theorist Piaget's philosophy of learning schema styles and their potential impact upon children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder will be highlighted within this position paper. Furthermore, this paper will also focus on the need for a Schematic Driven Pedagogy implementation to connect both…

Dyoniziak, Yann; Potocki, Anna; Rouet, Jean-François – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
With the development of the Internet as a main source of information, teenagers are increasingly faced with multiple documents which may contain contradictory statements, and whose reliability must be assessed. One way to assess information reliability is to evaluate the source of the information (e.g., author expertise, intention). However,…

Zhu, Ning; Filik, Ruth – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Sarcasm is commonly used in everyday language; however, little is currently known about cultural and individual differences in sarcasm interpretation and use, particularly across Western and Eastern cultures. To address these gaps in the literature, the present study investigated individual differences in sarcasm interpretation and use in the UK…

Ruffman, Ted – Child Development Perspectives, 2023
In this article, I briefly review theories about the development of theory of mind, and then examine evidence for minimalism, the idea that infants initially understand only behaviors. To this end, I consider the need for a wide variety of species to predict the behaviors of other animals and that human infants are not unique in this regard. I…

Jie Wang; Yunpeng Wu; Jianfen Wu; Yu Gong; Yali Dong; Li Li; Heyue Fang – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
This study examined the effect of dialogic reading intervention on improving the theory of mind of rural Chinese children. A 12-week-randomized controlled trial design with two intervention groups, i.e. school practice intervention (SPI), parent-involved intervention (PII), and one control group with traditional reading intervention (TRI) that…

Zinck, Alexandra; Frith, Uta; Schönknecht, Peter; White, Sarah – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Recent studies on mentalizing have shown that autistic individuals who pass explicit mentalizing tasks may still have difficulties with implicit mentalizing tasks. This study explores implicit mentalizing by examining spontaneous speech that is likely to contain mentalistic expressions. The spontaneous production of meta-statements provides a…

Kallitsounaki, Aimilia; Williams, David M.; Lind, Sophie E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Gender nonconformity is substantially elevated in the autistic population, but the reasons for this are currently unclear. In a recent study, Kallitsounaki and Williams (Kallitsounaki and Williams, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020; authors 1 and 2 of the current paper) found significant relations between autistic traits and both…

Starmans, Christina; Friedman, Ori – Cognitive Science, 2020
Academics across widely ranging disciplines all pursue knowledge, but they do so using vastly different methods. Do these academics therefore also have different ideas about when someone possesses knowledge? Recent experimental findings suggest that intuitions about when individuals have knowledge may vary across groups; in particular, the concept…

Lauer, Thomas W. – Information Systems Education Journal, 2020
This paper gives four examples of the use of short speculative fiction for teaching different aspects of information privacy. Information privacy is multi-faceted; as an area of study it intersects with a number of fields. A non-exhaustive list could include: law, information systems, decision science, marketing, management, philosophy,…

Filippi, Courtney; Choi, Yeo Bi; Fox, Nathan A.; Woodward, Amanda L. – Developmental Science, 2020
The mechanisms that support infant action processing are thought to be involved in the development of later social cognition. While a growing body of research demonstrates longitudinal links between action processing and explicit theory of mind (TOM), it remains unclear why this link emerges in some measures of action encoding and not others. In…

Silarat, Chomchat – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
Individuals with ASD display incompetency in developing the "Theory of Mind" (ToM), a mechanism that allows humans to interpret others' intentions and reciprocate actions, leading to difficulty in social communication and interaction. The Simulation Theory of ToM proposes that the brain constructs a simulation of others' states of mind…
