Theory of mind has been perhaps the most heavily researched topic
in developmental psychology for close to 30 years. Most research,
as well as most secondary accounts, has concentrated on the first 5
years of life-a time period during which a number of important
developmental changes occur. No one, however, has ever believed
that the development of theory of mind is complete by age 5, and in
recent years there has been a growing body of research literature
dedicated to exploring further developments across the middle
childhood and adolescent years. Advanced Theory of Mind brings
together this large and diverse body of work. Four interrelated
themes recur throughout the volume. One concerns the descriptive
picture for the target of study: What is the nature of theory of
mind across different parts of the life span? In particular, how
does the study of advanced developments add to the well-documented
achievements of the first 5 years? A second theme addresses how to
explain the developmental changes that are observed, both the
commonalties that characterize development and individual
differences in the speed or the extent of mastery. The third theme
examines the effects of theory of mind on other aspects of
development, and a final theme is the theoretical question of how
best to characterize advanced theory of mind, namely whether
theories designed to explain early developments can be successfully
extended to more advanced forms of understanding.
