一些研究已经证明了学龄前儿童的执行功能（EF）与心理理论（ToM）之间的关系，但这种关系的发展过程尚不清楚。对81名24和39个月的儿童进行纵向稳定性和EF-ToM关系的研究。在时间1，EF与ToM的行为测量无关，但与家长对儿童内态语言的报告显著相关，与词汇量无关。时间2时，EF与ToM行为电池显著相关（r = 0.50, p < 0.01）。此外，EF（时间1）显著预测ToM（时间2），独立于几个控制。相互关系（内部状态语言-时间2时b> EF）在包括对照组的情况下不显著。EF的个体差异相对稳定。
Several studies have demonstrated a relation between executive functioning (EF) and theory of mind (ToM) in preschoolers, yet the developmental course of this relation remains unknown. Longitudinal stability and EF-ToM relations were examined in 81 children at 24 and 39 months. At Time 1, EF was unrelated to behavioral measures of ToM but was significantly related to parent report of children's internal-state language, independent of vocabulary size. At Time 2, behavioral batteries of EF and ToM were significantly related (r = .50, p < .01). Furthermore, EF (Time 1) significantly predicted ToM (Time 2), independent of several controls. A reciprocal relation (internal-state language -->EF at Time 2) was nonsignificant with the controls included. Individual differences in EF were relatively stable.
