Understanding that people's ideas may be false is a challenging step in Theory of Mind (ToM) development, which is accomplished around the age of 4-5 years old by typically developing (TD) children.

Chamorro, Gloria; Janke, Vikki – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022

The current study measures the social…

Data were drawn from narrative samples and from a sentence repetition task. Suffixes were…

Van Herwegen, Jo; Farran, Emily; Annaz, Dagmara – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (RCPM) is a standardised test that is commonly used to obtain a non-verbal reasoning score for children. As the RCPM involves the matching of a target to a pattern it is also considered to be a visuo-spatial perception task. RCPM is therefore frequently used in studies in Williams Syndrome (WS), in order to…
