Theory of Mind

Zusammenfassung

Als ToM werden die alltagspsychologischen Konzepte bezeichnet, die wir benutzen, um uns selbst und anderen mentale Zustände zuzuschreiben (was wir wissen, wollen, denken, fühlen usw.). Die begriffliche Erschließung der psychologischen Domäne durch das Kind ist in den letzten 25 Jahren zum Gegenstand intensiver entwicklungspsychologischer Forschung geworden (Astington 2000; Flavell 2000; Perner 1991, 2000; Sodian 2005a; Sodian u. Thoermer 2006; Wellman 2002; Frith et al. 1994).
