Yuill, Nicola; Perner, Josef
International Journal of Behavioral Development, v10 n2 p207-23 Jun 1987
Investigated six- to nine-year-old children's understanding of the principle of mutual trust by testing children's ability to make correct blame attributions on the basis of second-order beliefs. Subjects were presented with four story frames. Stories differed in protagonist's second-order belief about another's knowledge. (Author/NH)
