Theory of mind: wrap up, cognitive development preoperational thinking. Focused on sensory and motor thinking with senses. Start with reflexes, organize into more complex behaviours. By end of stage, develop mental representation. Development of symbolic representation: use of one thing to stand for another (e. g. symbols can include objects, words, gesture, pictures, sounds, pretend play; pretending to be a superhero, drawing, language. Scale model task: big snoopy/ little snoopy experiment; hiding big snoopy in same place as little. Snoopy see the 2. 5 year old have trouble, the older child didn"t; asked the older one to find the small snoopy again to make sure she made that connection: 2. 5 year olds, 3 year olds. The credible shrinking machine; now even 2y can find snoopy; kid almost doing the exact same thing can show that the alternative experiment is them not being about to understand symbols.
