Is there a Gender Difference in False Belief Development
The contribution of children's social environment to their acquisition of theory of mind skills, combined with the well documented advantage for girls in mental state talk with siblings, peers and mothers, might lead to a female advantage on false belief tasks. We present a post‐hoc analysis of large datasets from two independent laboratories. A slight advantage for girls on false belief task performance was found in both datasets and was only ap…
Older (but not younger) siblings facilitate false belief understanding
Results from 4 experiments and an analysis in which all data from 444 English and Japanese children are pooled show (a) a linear increase in understanding false belief with the number of older siblings, (b) no such effect for children younger than 3 years 2 months, (c) no helpful effect of younger siblings at any age (despite the large sample), (d) no effect of siblings' gender, and (e) no helpful effect of siblings on a task measuring children's…
The drawings of children and young people with Down's Syndrome
This study compared the performance of 29 children and young people with Down's Syndrome with the performance of 29 verbal‐mental‐age‐matched children without learning difficulties on four drawing tasks and four picture‐selection tasks. All eight tasks involved the graphic depiction of a perceptually‐present array in which one object was partially occluded by another object. It was found that all participants performed better on the picture‐selec…
