Hughes, Claire – Psychology Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2011
Over the past thirty years, researchers have documented a remarkable growth in children's social understanding between toddlerhood and the early school years.

A total of 50 children from first and fifth grade completed a battery of theory of mind tasks,…

Hobson, R. Peter – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2007
In this commentary, I consider several strengths of the position adopted by Racine and Carpendale (2007), but suggest that the authors are in danger of overstating their case. In doing so, they appear to sideline an issue that should be pivotal for accounts of joint attention: how does a child come to arrive at an understanding that people, both…
