Viewing yourself as unique, always existing and living in a world of others. Story telling: similar to autobiographical memory; use stories to further understand themselves; the stories we tell about each other. View yourself as persisting over time; ex. realize that a video image of themselves replayed a few minutes after it was filmed is still me . Na ve theory of mind: basic theory; understanding that people are mental beings; we can understand our own and other people"s perceptions, feelings, desires and beliefs; constantly revising with our cognitive development. False belief video: 4 year old can"t understand that pam doesn"t know where the band-aids are and assumes she will check pink box; 7 year old can understand. Language: allows the mind to reflect on thoughts; have social exchanges and expand on our ideas. Make-believe play: allows context for acting out roles and imaging different thoughts and feelings.
