Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study captured the development of executive function, which underlies Theory of Mind, longitudinally. To capture the early development of executive function, a new measure of attentional control was developed using eye tracking. This new measure predicted a later theory of mind, mediated by executive function ability, one year later.To examine the social implementation of the theory of mind ability, the development of mindful conversation skills was assessed by kindergarten teachers. The development of mindful conversation skills was predicted by executive functioning in the first year of kindergarten.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
注意コントロールする能力が,これまでの実行機能の発達と関連することが,明らかとなり,より年少の子どもの実行機能の発達を検討する可能性が得られた。 実行機能の発達は,これまでも心の理論の発達を予測することが報告されていたが,心の理論をいかに社会で活用するかという視点での会話スキルにも関連していることが明らかとなり,社会性を高めるための実行機能の役割とその重要性にスポットライトを当てることができた。
