各种理论解释提出，共同注意、游戏和模仿能力与后来的心理理论能力之间存在着重要的发展关系。然而，很少有直接的实证证据支持这些关于心理理论所谓“前体”地位的论断。对一小样本（N = 13）的婴儿进行了纵向跟踪研究，这些婴儿在20个月大时已收集了游戏、共同注意和模仿的测量数据，并在44个月时再次进行测量，同时还进行了一系列心理理论测量。在两个时间点都测量了语言和智商。20个月时的模仿能力与44个月时的表达性语言能力（而非接受性语言能力）呈纵向关联。相比之下，只有20个月时在成人与活动玩具之间转换注视以及在模糊目标检测任务中看向成人的共同注意行为，与44个月时的心理理论能力呈纵向关联。有人认为，共同注意、游戏和模仿，以及语言和心理理论，可能构成婴儿期共享的社会 - 交流表征系统的一部分，随着发展的推进，该系统会变得越来越专门化和分化。（C）2001爱思唯尔科学公司。保留所有权利。
Various theoretical accounts propose that an important developmental relation existsbetween joint attention, play, and imitation abilities, and later theory of mind ability. However, very little direct empirical evidence supports these claims for putative "precursor" theory of mind status. A small sample (N=13) of infants, for whom measures of play, joint attention, and imitation had been collected at 20 months of age, was followed-up longitudinally at 44 months and a battery of theory of mind measures was conducted. Language and IQ were measured at both timepoints. Imitation ability at 20 months was longitudinally associated with expressive, but not receptive, language ability at 44 months. In contrast, only the joint attention behaviours of gaze switches between an adult and an active toy and looking to an adult during an ambiguous goal detection task at 20 months were longitudinally associated with theory of mind ability at 44 months. It is argued that joint attention, play, and imitation, and language and theory of mind, might form part of st shared social-communicative representational system in infancy that becomes increasingly specialised and differentiated as development progresses.
