Not thinking that other people have mental states thinks like you and thinks the same things as you. The idea that you know that someone else has a mind (e. g. , other people can think and feel) If you don"t have theory of mind, you think that everyone. You can"t predict other people"s behavior and it is hard to understand. If you don"t have theory of mind, you may think that other people"s behavior and the kid sees the toy changing places but the experiment doesn"t depends on reflexes rather than on higher thoughts. False belief study from the readings, which deals with toys being hidden in boxes. Take-home message: 15-month olds in this study get the idea that the behavior of the experimenter depends on not just what the kid knows, but on where it is that the experimenter believes the toy is. In this task, they take a picture of a scene where the toy is in the box.
