Research Abstract |
The relation between pretend play and theory of mind and the relation between pretend play and language development were investigated in two studies which were examined to 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old children . In results, pretend actions to use imaginary objects were related to language development, but were not related to theory of mind so much. But individual differences in fantasy (e.g., the information about whether children have imaginary companions) were closely related to the theory of mind performance. These results suggest that the tendencies to create imaginary persons are related to the understanding of others' minds.
