ABSTRACT

In this study, examined the development of second-order theory of mind with regard to implicit and explicit responses. Differences in implicit and explicit responses according to age and task type were also examined. Seventy-nine children between the ages of 3 to 5 years participated in this study. Implicit responses were measured by the eye gaze direction of the children. Children’s verbal answers and pointing behavior were counted as explicit responses. The results showed that age and task type differences were significant in terms of implicit and explicit responses. In relation to task type, simplification and specification of deception raised children’s performance. These results suggest that implicit responses and task type had an important effect on children’s second-order theory of mind.
