The New Theory of Theory of Mind
Commentary
Plot, Plight, and Dramatism
There is a good deal of interest today in cultural psychology and its central forms of thought, which are interpretive or meaning making rather than computational or algorithmic. At the same time, there is a good deal of concern that such a focus is incompatible with the praxis of empirical or scientific psychology. The research described in this article is an attempt to exemplify one way that a scientific study of interpretive processes might pr…
The 'old' pragmatics and the 'new' Afterthoughts on a revolution
The Colored Blocks Test
A recently developed test of basic Piagetian stage abilities is described, and new data collected in rural Hawaii and in a working-class Chicago suburb are used to defend its validity. The test makes use of familiar test stimuli-blocks of different colors and shapes-which are reasonably salient cross-culturally. The use of (1) identical materials in assessment of all levels of cognitive development and (2) minimal verbal cues of simple constructi…
Standard and Nonstandard Dialect Competencies of Hawaiian Creole English Speakers
Carol Fleisher Feldman, Addison Stone, James V. Wertsch, Michael Strizich, Standard and Nonstandard Dialect Competencies of Hawaiian Creole English Speakers, TESOL Quarterly, Vol. 11, No. 1 (Mar., 1977), pp. 41-50
Context Dependent Properties of Teachers' Speech
The Interaction of Sentence Characteristics and Mode of Presentation in Recall
The present study was designed to demonstrate that the recall of sentences in a conventional experiment is different from recall in even the most minimally conversational conditions when sentences include certain structures characteristic of ordinary speech. Sentences were constructed which included modal verbs, and the words "even" and "only" (called here underdetermined elements), alone and in combination with negation and question transformati…
The Role of Underdeterminacy and Reference in the Sentence Recall of Young Children
Children of five and eight years of age were asked to repeat sentences. The sentences were (1) underdetermined sentences containing modal verbs, (2) referential sentences in which the subject referred to an object presented simultaneously with the sentence, and (3) control sentences containing neither. Sentences were presented in a conversation condition approximating an ordinary conversation and on a tape recording. In eight-year-olds, but not f…
Controls, conceptualization, and the interrelation between experimental and correlational research
A Developmental Analysis of the " Psychological " Subject and Predicate of the Sentence
The purpose of this investigation was to study the early development of the distinction between the "psychological" subject and predicate and to determine its relationship to the grammatical subject and predicate distinction. In the first task, kindergarten and 2nd grade subjects were asked to select the most important word in each of several sentences. In the second task, two more groups of children at the same age levels were asked to produce o…
