Direct linkPeterson, Candida C.; Wellman, Henry M. – Child Development, 2019
Longitudinal tracking of 107 three- to-thirteen-year-olds in a cross-sequential design showed a 6-step theory of mind (ToM) sequence identified by a few past cross-sectional studies validly depicted longitudinal ToM development from early to middle childhood for typically developing (TD) children and those with ToM delays owing to deafness or…

Bialecka-Pikul, Marta; Bialek, Arkadiusz – Developmental Psychology, 2021
The dichotomy between explicit and implicit theory of mind remains controversial. This study proposed a developmental and social-constructionist perspective that challenges this notion through a model showing that coordination of perspectives (CoP) is a continuously developing ability in children. Our tested model comprises eight distinct…

Mata López, Cecil; Santelices Álvarez, María Pía; Vergés Gómez, Alvaro – Early Child Development and Care, 2022

Deeper investigations into these settings are warranted. In the current study, over 400 Melanesian children from Vanuatu (range = 3-14 years), growing up in either urban or rural remote environments,…

Spataro, Pietro; Rossi-Arnaud, Clelia; Longobardi, Emiddia – Infant and Child Development, 2018
Previous research has consistently demonstrated that false-belief (FB) understanding correlates with and predicts metalinguistic ability in preschoolers. Surprisingly, however, there is scant evidence on the question of whether this relation persists at later ages. The present cross-sectional study sought to fill this gap by examining the…

Wellman, Henry M.; Fang, Fuxi; Peterson, Candida C. – Child Development, 2011
Consecutive retestings of 92 U.S. preschoolers (n = 30), Chinese preschoolers (n = 31), and deaf children (n = 31) examined whether the sequences of development apparent in cross-sectional results with a theory-of-mind scale also appeared in longitudinal assessment. Longitudinal data confirmed that theory-of-mind progressions apparent in…
