Brodsky, Jessica E.; Bergson, Zachary; Chen, Ming; Hayward, Elizabeth O.; Plass, Jan L.; Homer, Bruce D. – Child Development, 2023
Executive functions' (EF) role in adolescents' advanced theory of mind (aToM) was examined. In Study 1, adolescents (N = 189 in 2017, M[subscript age] = 13.1 years, 55.6% female from racially/ethnically diverse schools) completed the Flexibility and Automaticity of Social Cognition task (FASC), and shifting and inhibition measures. Study 2…

Xiao-Hui Hou; Yao Liu; Xia-Xia Qin; Ling-Yu Wang – Infant and Child Development, 2023
The current study investigated the link between social competence with peers (SCWP) and theory of mind (ToM) skills among Chinese preschool children. Using a sample of 363 Chinese children aged 3-5 (Mage = 4.54 years, SD = 0.84, 183 boys), this cross-sectional study demonstrates that children's SCWP, as reported by teachers, was significantly…

Ralph Bagnall; Ailsa Russell; Mark Brosnan; Katie Maras – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Autistic children and adolescents often have greater difficulty engaging in deception than their non-autistic peers. However, deception in autistic adulthood has received little attention to date. This study examined whether autistic and non-autistic adults differed in their inclination to lie in everyday situations and the factors that underpin…

Roksana Markiewicz; Foyzul Rahman; Ian Apperly; Ali Mazaheri; Katrien Segaert – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
We investigated the relationship between Theory of Mind (ToM) and communicative cooperation. Specifically, we examined whether communicative cooperation is affected by the ToM ability of one's cooperative partner as well as their own. ToM is the attribution of mental states to oneself and others; cooperation is the joint action that leads to…

Nathan John Albury-Garcés – Australian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2024
In Serbia, script diversity remains the norm, whereby Serbian is routinely written in both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. This is not free of political contestation. Metadiscourses construct Cyrillic as the authentic script and central to ethnoidentity or, alternatively, as indexing dangerous nationalism, conservatism and Russian-leaning…

Lee, Shih-Chieh; Fu, I-Ning; Liu, Meng-Ru; Yu, Tzu-Ying; Chen, Kuan-Lin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
The Theory of Mind Inventory-2 (ToMI-2) is a promising measure for assessing theory of mind (ToM) and social-related functions. However, limited evidence on its factorial validity hampers score interpretation. To examine the factorial validity, confirmatory factor analysis for two currently-available structures was performed in 420 typically…

Richard Marks – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Whereas it is generally accepted that theory of mind and language are related constructs, the nature of the relation remains unclear. Past research has suggested that two related, but distinct, components of theory of mind are differentially related to language. The present study attempted to clarify the relation between theory of mind and…

Katherine Trice; Dionysia Saratsli; Anna Papafragou; Zhenghan Qi – Developmental Science, 2025
Children can acquire novel word meanings by using pragmatic cues. However, previous literature has frequently focused on in-the-moment word-to-meaning mappings, not delayed retention of novel vocabulary. Here, we examine how children use pragmatics as they learn and retain novel words. Thirty-three younger children (mean age: 5.0, range: 4.0-6.0,…

Fuxin Lian; Gabrielle T. Lee; Yan Long; Weina Ma; Mian Wang – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2025
Adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) seem to have difficulty dealing with complex social situations, which is likely related to their challenges in understanding others' perspectives, according to the Theory of Mind (ToM). The purpose of this preliminary study was to examine the effect of multiple exemplar training (MET) on the…

Shih-Chieh Lee; Chien-Yu Huang; I-Ning Fu; Kuan-Lin Chen – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Multidimensional theory of mind assessments should include items assessing both explicit theory of mind (theory of mind knowledge) and applied theory of mind (application of theory of mind knowledge in real-life contexts). However, the two theory of mind scores cannot be interpreted collectively to identify children having mismatched explicit and…

Yicheng Rong – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The present study aimed to examine whether Mandarin-speaking children on the autism spectrum showed differences in comprehending spatial demonstratives ("this" and "that", and "here" and "there"), as compared to typically developing (TD) children. Another aim of this study was to investigate the roles of…

Peretti, Giulia; Manzi, Federico; Di Dio, Cinzia; Cangelosi, Angelo; Harris, Paul L.; Massaro, Davide; Marchetti, Antonella – Infant and Child Development, 2023
Including robots in children's lives calls for reflection on the psychological and moral aspects of such relationships, especially with respect to children's ability to differentiate intentional from unintentional false statements, that is, lies from mistakes. This ability calls for an understanding of an interlocutor's intentions. This study…

Xiaomei Zhou; Hasan Siddiqui; M. D. Rutherford – Child Development, 2025
Autism spectrum condition (ASC) is characterized by atypical attention to eyes and faces, but the onset and impact of these atypicalities remain unclear. This prospective longitudinal study examined face perception in infants who develop ASC (N = 22, female = 5, 100% White) compared with typically developing infants (N = 131, female = 65, 55.6%…

ChatGPT has been demonstrated to possess significant capabilities in generating intricate human-like text, and recent studies have established that its performance in theory of mind (ToM) tasks is strikingly comparable to a nine-year-old child's. However, it remains unknown whether ChatGPT outperforms children of this age group in Chinese writing,…

Alkire, Diana; McNaughton, Kathryn A.; Yarger, Heather A.; Shariq, Deena; Redcay, Elizabeth – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Successful social interactions are assumed to depend on theory of mind--the ability to represent others' mental states--yet most studies of the relation between theory of mind and social-interactive success rely on non-interactive tasks that do not adequately capture the "spontaneous" engagement of theory of mind, a crucial component of…
