: En 'Understanding the Representational Mind', Josef Perner sintetiza la literatura sobre la teoría de la mente infantil para ofrecer una visión integrada de la comprensión de los niños sobre los procesos mentales y representacionales, crucial en la adquisición de nuestra psicología del sentido común. El libro describe el trabajo experimental sobre la adquisición infantil de una teoría de la mente y la representación, ofrece una explicación teórica de esta adquisición y proporciona ejemplos de cómo la mayor sofisticación en la teoría de la mente de los niños mejora su comprensión de la interacción social y cómo, en el caso de los niños autistas, una deficiencia resulta en ineptitud social. Perner analiza los conceptos de representación y metarrepresentación tal como aparecen en la discusión actual en la filosofía de la ciencia cognitiva y explica cómo el desarrollo de la representación mental permite a los bebés comprender el cambio a lo largo del tiempo, participar en la simulación y utilizar sistemas representacionales como imágenes y lenguaje. Perner continúa mostrando que alrededor de los cuatro años los niños se vuelven capaces de comprender la naturaleza representacional de las imágenes y el lenguaje y de distinguir la apariencia de la realidad.

Perner describes experimental work on children's acquisition of a theory of mind and representation, offers a theoretical account of this acquisition, and gives examples of how the increased sophistication in children's theory of mind improves their understanding of social interaction and how, in the case of autistic children, an impairment results in social ineptitude. He analyzes the concepts of representation and metarepresentation as they appear in current discussion in the philosophy of cognitive science and explains how the unfolding of mental representation enables infants to comprehend change over time, engage in pretence, and use representational systems like pictures and language. Perner goes on to show that around age four children become able to understand the representational nature of pictures and language and to distinguish appearance from reality.
Introducing basic distinctions in philosophy of mind for characterizing the mental, Perner discusses differences in how commonsense and cognitive psychology view the mind. Tracing the onset of a commonsense psychology in the social and emotional awareness of early infancy, he reveals how the child begins to take a cognitive, representational view of the mind with repercussions for children's episodic memory, self control, and their ability to engage in deception. Perner concludes by describing the observed developmental changes as a case of theory change And contrasts his thesis with competing proposals.
