Περίληψη

The past 20 years have seen rapid growth of a new field of developmen¬tal research, known as children’s theory of mind, which investigates the development of children’s ability to understand human activity by the attri¬bution of mental states to people and especially their beliefs about mental states.
In the present study we examined the ability of preschool children to invoke false belief when the direction of inference is from behavior to belief than from belief to behavior. Children examined an action based on false belief and judged on the outcome, rather than foretelling the protagonist‘s action as in the “unexpected transfer” task. Our methodological design was based on Wimmer & Perner (1983) and Robinson & Mitchell (1995) research.
We examined 64 preschool children, the data analysis and the outcome discussion is formed under Lewis (1994), Lewis & Maridaki - Kassotaki (1995) research frame of mind.
