Abstract (english)
Theory of Mind is the ability to attribute mental states to others. Until around 20 years ago most evidence pointed to Theory of Mind being a cognitively demanding skill that likely develops at around 4 years of age. However, there is a growing body of literature based on experiments that do not rely on verbal measures that suggests that Theory of Mind-like abilities may occur outside of cognitive control and in infants as young as 9 months. This review discusses the three main types of account that have been proposed as explanations of these new results. Furthermore, it highlights the evidence supporting and contrasting each type of account. There is currently no single account that provides an uncontested explanation of all current data, however, one of the reasons for this is that there is a degree of ambiguity in the predictions and interpretations of each of the accounts making it challenging for any set of experiments to refute an account. Consequently, the future of research on Theory of Mind appears to rely on these accounts producing less ambiguous predictions that cannot be insulated from refutation.
Abstract (croatian)
Teorija uma je sposobnost pripisivanja mentalnih stanja drugima. Do prije otprilike 20 godina empirijska istraživanja upućivala su na to da je teorija uma kognitivno zahtjevna sposobnost koja se razvija oko četvrte godine života. Međutim, sve veći broj istraživanja koja koriste zadatke koji ne zahtijevaju verbalne odgovore upućuje na to da sposobnost koja nalikuje na teoriju uma postoji i izvan kognitivne kontrole te da je pokazuju već i djeca stara devet mjeseci. Ovaj pregledni rad predstavit će tri glavna tipa teorija koje pokušavaju objasniti te novije empirijske rezultate i raspraviti o njima. Nadalje, u radu će biti istaknuti empirijski nalazi koji idu u prilog svakoj od tih teorija ili je opovrgavaju. Iako postoje prijedlozi za kritične eksperimente koji bi trebali moćinapraviti razliku između teorija, trenutačno ti prijedlozi još nisu dovoljno korisni za te svrhe jer se podatci koji bi se mogli dobiti takvim eksperimentima mogu u različitim teorijama različito interpretirati. Stoga je važno da se budući rad o teoriji uma fokusira na uklanjanje dvosmislenosti u predviđanjima i interpretacijama svake od teorija.
