错误信念任务经常被用作心理理论的测试。我们提出了放弃这种做法的两个理由。首先,通过错误信念任务需要的不是心智理论的能力。第二,心智理论不需要包含对错误信念进行推理的能力。最后,我们对错误信念任务的作用提出了另一种看法。(C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.版权所有
The false belief task has often been used as a test of theory of mind. We present two reasons to abandon this practice. First, passing the false belief task requires abilities other than theory of mind. Second, theory of mind need not entail the ability to reason about false beliefs. We conclude with an alternative conception of the role of the false belief task. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
