Synopsis

Over the past twenty years researchers have provided rich, provocative data showing that from an early age, children develop a sophisticated and consistent "theory of mind" by attributing their desires, beliefs, and emotions to themselves and to others. Henry M. Wellman pulls together all that we have learned in the past twenty years to shine new light on how "theory of mind" develops.
