Primes

• Theory Of Mind
  • Developmental psychology: the false-belief task — a child who predicts that Sally will look where she believes the marble is, not where it actually is, has passed the canonical milestone (around age four); failure is diagnostic of certain developmental profiles.

    This sourceIntroduces the false-belief ("Maxi") task; establishes that children around age four come to predict action from an agent's belief rather than from reality.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
