摘要

虽然语言在心智理论（ToM）发展中的作用已经确立，但它与儿童理解结构化场景的能力之间的相互作用仍不清楚。在考虑情景理解的情况下，采用图像心理理论量表评估不同语言复杂性水平下的真信念和假信念理解，探讨语言对情景理解的影响。39名儿童（4-6岁）；53.8%的女性)参与了本研究。结果显示，46.8%的4- 6岁儿童在语言输出有限的情况下能够理解基于图片的场景中的错误信念。语言和情景理解对一阶错误信念都有影响，而只有情景理解对真信念有影响。相比之下，只有语言预测二阶错误信念，突出了它们在ToM发展中的不同作用。

From Understanding to Mindreading: The Role of Scenario Comprehension and Verbal Demand on Theory of Mind.

While a role of language in the development of Theory of Mind (ToM) is well established, the interplay with a child's ability to understand structured scenarios remains unclear. A new scale (Pictorial Theory of Mind Scale), assessing true and false belief comprehension at different levels of linguistic complexity, was used to explore language effects on ToM while accounting for scenario comprehension. Thirty-nine children (aged 4-6 years; 53.8% female) participated in this study. Results showed that 46.8% of 4- to 6-year-olds can understand false beliefs from picture-based scenarios with limited language output. Both language and scenario comprehension contributed to ToM in first-order false beliefs, whereas only scenario comprehension predicted true beliefs. In contrast, only language predicted second-order false beliefs, highlighting their different roles in ToM development.

期刊介绍： A key publication in the field, Journal of Child Language publishes articles on all aspects of the scientific study of language behaviour in children, the principles which underlie it, and the theories which may account for it. The international range of authors and breadth of coverage allow the journal to forge links between many different areas of research including psychology, linguistics, cognitive science and anthropology. This interdisciplinary approach spans a wide range of interests: phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, vocabulary, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, or any other recognised facet of language study.
