Children begin to be able to consider alternative representations of the same object at about age 4, and most 3-year-olds answered the representational change question incorrectly, while most 5- year-olds did not make this error.

7 studies of the acquisition of knowledge about the appearance-reality distinction suggest the following course of development: children of 6-7 years have acquired both skills but nevertheless find it very difficult to reflect on and talk about such appearance- reality concepts.

Using 14 case studies of differentiation, situations and introspection, this book finds that pre-schoolers may regard thoughts as mysterious, isolated mental events; in general, a young child has difficulty determining both when a person (either self or other) is thinking and what the person is thinking about, even if given clear clues.

4 studies tested the hypothesis that young 3-year-olds would have less difficulty inferring that another person holds an odd, nonnormative belief about a matter of taste or value--one which, like the false fact belief, they themselves do not hold.

Children's ability to vary their responses on perspective-taking tasks as a function of the other person's age was examined to study asymmetry in performance on the general knowledge task and the restricted view task.

147 Citations1988Marjorie Taylor
This research investigated the development of children's ability to make the seeing-knowing distinction in the context of conceptual perspective taking by giving 4- and 6-year-old children training designed to make them aware that there may be many interpretations for the same information.

Children and adults were tested for their understanding that there is a virtually continuous flow of mental content in a waking person, a "stream of consciousness" that continues to run even when the person is not examining stimuli perceptually or trying to solve a problem.

Four- and 5-year-olds were equally competent in understanding the need for interpretation of pictorial material and realized that an uninitiated person cannot make sense of a "droodle", which in itself is an uninterpretable section of a larger meaningful drawing.

44 Citations1994Henry M. Wellman, Anne K. Hickling
A developing ability to interpret and produce statements personifying the mind is revealed and considerable evidence is provided about children's movement toward a conception of the mind as an independent entity deserving reference and conceptualization in its own right.

Developmental changes involved increased reliability of individuals' performance and increased range of application of children's inference evaluation procedures to include more difficult, disconfirmatory inferences and cases where greater certainty in reasoning seemed to be required.
