Abstract:

This Elements presents a series of studies investigating the
relationship between language, Theory of Mind, and other cognitive
skills, across different languages and cultures. The first set of
studies focuses on longitudinal relationships between English-speaking
children's understanding of complement-clause constructions (e.g., The
cow knows the sticker is in the red box), mental verbs (e.g., know vs.
think), modal verbs (e.g., must vs. might), and Theory of Mind. The
second set of studies investigates links between complement-clause
constructions, mental verbs, and Theory of Mind in Mandarin Chinese
and English. The last study looks at English- and Turkish-speaking
children's knowledge of evidentiality, source monitoring, and Theory
of Mind. Together, these studies suggest that there are different
linguistic tools that enable children to represent and acquire Theory
of Mind, and that the availability and choice of these linguistic
tools differ across languages and cultures.
