Our ability to understand others is one of the most central parts
of human life, but explaining how this ability develops remains a
controversial issue, exercising psychologists and philosophers
alike. Within this literature the Paradox of False Belief
Understanding remains one of the main open challenges. Based on an
up to date overview of the empirical and theoretical literature,
this book highlights the significance of this paradox for our
understanding of the development of social cognition and provides a
new explanation of it in the form of the Situational Mental File
Account. Central features of the account are, firstly, identitfying
three distinct stages in the development of belief understanding
and, secondly, elaborating the role of both cognitive and
situational factors as well as their interaction in the development
of belief understanding. This account is also applied to the
related phenomenon of pretend play, demonstrating the potential for
a wider application of the account. This account generates both new
empirical predications and a framework for further theoretical
work, thereby providing a fruitful ground for further
interdisciplinary research in this area.
