Document Summary
1. name one precursor to theory-of-mind development; describe what this behaviour looks like, and how it is related to theory-of-mind understanding. A precursor to the theory of mind is intersubjectivity which is the ability to share focus of attention between others. This contributes to theory of mind because individuals begin to understand the thought and emotions of other people around them and then begin to relate this to themselves. This is important for children to understand so children can learn to how to react in certain situations. Inductive discipline helps develop the theory of mind because it is important to observe others in order to relate to them and understand their actions, which is essential in the theory of mind.
