The development of children's communicative perspective-taking, false belief and inhibitory control

Abstract

In this study, we investigated children's development of communicative perspective-taking, false belief, inhibitory control, and further relations among these variables. Ninety-two 3- and 4-year-old children were tested. Children produced the appropriate adjectives in the common-ground condition more often than in the privileged-ground condition, and chose referential targets significantly more often in the privileged-ground condition than in the common-ground condition. Regression analysis revealed that false belief understanding can predict performance in communicative perspective-taking production tasks, while inhibitory control predicts performance in communicative perspective-taking comprehension tasks. This implies that children are sensitive to the perspectives of others in communication, and further, that their communicative perspective-taking ability might be partially related to false belief understanding and inhibitory control.
