In this episode of Psychology 101, we here at Psyched! discuss one of the more well-known and fascinating concepts in psychology - namely, Theory of Mind.
Theory of Mind refers to our ability to recognize that the mental states that we experience, such as our thoughts, feelings, intents, desires, and knowledge, are distinct and different from the mental states that others experience. Theory of Mind has been shown to be fully developed around the age of 4, and has been studied using tasks such as the Sally-Anne task and other false belief tasks.
In this video, we discuss what Theory of Mind is and the various ways in which it has been studied. We also discuss conflicting research that shows that while children under the age of 4 often fail certain false belief tasks, children as young as 15 months old have still been shown to be able to attribute false beliefs in others.

USE OF STOCK IMAGES AND VIDEOS
Occasionally we make use of stock images and videos (pixabay.com or pexels.com). We use these to make our videos more lively (better than looking at a blank screen). These stock videos should not be taken as an exact scientific reflection of the discussed content. In some cases they are not fully accurate. We try to have a high viewing pleasure, while at the same time create as little confusion as possible. Thus we aim to only use them when it is clear that they are not directly related to the discussed content.
