Discrepant Utterances Resulting from a False Belief: Children's Evaluations.
Mitchell, P.; Robinson, E. J.
Child Development, v65 n4 p1214-27 Aug 1994
Three experiments tested four- to seven-year olds' ability to understand and reconcile message-desire discrepant stories. The findings suggest that young children can refrain from a performative response and, as a consequence, attend to literal meaning under some conditions when evaluating utterances. (MDM)
