Three-year-olds’ theories of mind in actions and words
Understanding observable behavior by considering mental representations is central to social cognition. Research reveals quite different developmental trajectories for this ability depending on whether tasks assess implicit or explicit theory of mind (ToM). Yet, how to define implicit vs. explicit ToM, the tasks that elicit each, and the types of behavior that each can support, have remained un...
متن کاملPhilosophers, three year olds & autistics
In the ‘false belief’ task (Wimmer and Perner 1983) autistics and three year olds attribute beliefs based on the objective truth of a situation in the world rather than what the person believes on the basis of available information. Several recalcitrant problems in philosophy are based on the same mistake in which philosophers take their own knowledge of the truth rather than the subject’s just...
متن کاملTwo-year-olds differentially disambiguate novel words and facts.
When presented with a pair of objects, one familiar and one unfamiliar, and asked to select the referent of a novel word, children reliably demonstrate the disambiguation effect and select the unfamiliar object. The current study investigated two competing word learning accounts of this effect: a pragmatic account and a word learning principles account. Two-, three- and four-year-olds were pres...
متن کاملThree- and four-year-olds spontaneously use others' past performance to guide their learning.
A wealth of human knowledge is acquired by attending to information provided by other people--but some people are more credible sources than others. In two experiments, we explored whether young children spontaneously keep track of an individual's history of being accurate or inaccurate and use this information to facilitate subsequent learning. We found that 3- and 4-year-olds favor a previous...
متن کاملMultiple constraints on three and four words
In this paper we investigate the maximal size of chains of equations on three or four words such that every time we add a new equation the set of solutions strictly decreases. We also investigate how large systems of pairwise independent or pairwise non-equivalent equations exist accepting purely non-periodic solutions.
