两组5-8岁的儿童进行了检查，努力探索错误信念理解和个人品味的个性化本质的意识之间的发展关系，一方面，另一方面，成熟的理解理解过程的解释性特征。在第一项研究中，20名5 ~ 8岁的儿童的行为都与假设一致，他们对错误信念的可能性已经有了很好的把握，而且他们都认为关于品味问题的意见分歧是个人偏好的合理表达。相比之下，只有7岁和8岁的孩子给出了证据，认识到模糊的刺激，特别是允许解释的差异。研究2在48名5-8岁的受试者中重复并扩展了这些发现，再次表明，虽然5岁的孩子很容易通过错误信念理解的标准测试，但只有7岁或8岁的孩子通常会对认知过程的解释性特征表示赞赏。
2 groups of 5-8-year-olds were examined in an effort to explore the developing relations between false belief understanding and an awareness of the individualized nature of personal taste, on the one hand, and, on the other, a maturing grasp of the interpretive character of the knowing process. In Study 1, 20 children between 5 and 8 all behaved in accordance with hypotheses by proving to be indistinguishable in their already good grasp of the possibility of false beliefs and in their common assumption that differences of opinion concerning matters of taste are legitimate expressions of personal preferences. By contrast, only the 7- and 8-year-old children gave evidence of recognizing that ambiguous stimuli especially allow for warrantable differences of interpretation. Study 2 replicated and extended these findings with a group of 48 5-8-year-old subjects, again showing that while 5-year-olds easily pass a standard test of false belief understanding, only children of 7 or 8 ordinarily evidence an appreciation of the interpretive character of the knowing process.
