Infants' Insight into the Mind: How Deep?
Abstract
Understanding that others may act based on false beliefs is considered a uniquely human ability. Children are thought to develop an understanding of false beliefs around 4 years of age, which implicates a tie to a cultural process involving language. However, as Perner and Ruffman discuss in their Perspective, a new study (Onishi and Baillargeon) suggests that infants as young as 15 months may have insight into whether a person acts on the basis of a mistaken view (false belief) about the world. Perner and Ruffman argue that the behavior of 15-month olds in this study does not mean that they necessarily understand belief.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
