Integrating Relationship Constructs and Emotional Experience into False Belief Tasks in Preschool Children.

Symons, Doug; McLaughlin, Elizabeth; Moore, Chris; Morine, Stephany

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v67 n3 p423-47 Dec 1997

An object-retrieval study tested the hypothesis that locating a caregiver would interfere with false belief performance and be related to preschool children's emotional awareness. Results showed age-related improvement to above-chance levels during object identity and location tasks, but caregiver location task performance showed no age-related improvement. Emotional awareness and type of relocation were related to object task performance. (Author/KB)
