| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, we measured children’s executive function, persuasion skill and language ability, and examined their relationships with theory of mind. Mothers' executive function was also measured, and the correlations with children's executive function was examined. Mothers and children were asked to read a picture book with no words, do a block task, and play freely.
The subjects consisted of a total of 72 children, 18 each of 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-year-olds and their mothers. The results showed significant correlations between theory of mind and conflict inhibition and working memory, as well as between theory of mind and persuasion tasks, as has been previously reported. There were no differences in theory of mind performance by family income, parental education, or employment status, but there were significant correlations between mothers' cognitive flexibility or conflict inhibition and that of their children, as well as a relationship with mothers' language use.
