Theory of mind means: one knows someone’s intention or purpose—knowingother’s knowledge, belief, thinking, doubt, guessing, pretending, liking……There are more and more theory of mind researches in recent years, but few researches focus on toddlers. This research just focused on a toddler’s (Roye, 14 months old) development of theory of mind.Through analyzing video taped and anecdotal data, we found Roye have 7 types of behaviors to understand human’s mind : 1.expressing her intention, 2.understanding others’ intention, 3.steering others, 4. amusing others, 5. interactive pretending play, 6. sharing and sympathizing.The findings indicated that Roye was in the stage of “desire psychology” , who understanded human’s mind by her desire or others’ desire, not others’ belief. Sheunderstood others’s mind by simple desire more often than by simple emotion and perception. |
