The Relationship between Pretend Play and False-Belief in 18-Month-Old Children
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This experimental study examined the relationship between pretend play and false-belief. Eighteen-month-old children engaged in pretend play with an experimenter using various controlled behaviors and performed a false-belief task. The results showed that the children who understood pretend play performed better on the false-belief task. This suggests that pretended play and false-belief are related at the age of 18 months. Keywords—18-month-old, pretend play, false-belief task.
