Kommunikatív tudatelmélet csecsemőknél

Recent research suggests that the ability to have a theory of mind emerges much earlier than
previously thought, in infancy. Theory of mind allows us to understand that others are driven
by their internal mental states (goals, desires, beliefs) rather than simply responding to external
forces, as inanimate objects do. However, recent evidence suggesting that infants have a theory
of mind has been met with scepticism by many researchers. In this article, I aim to show why the
ability to attribute mental states is necessary for a species made great by its ability to cooperate.
