Understanding how others think, including the ability of other people to hold false beliefs, is important for social interaction. Called theory of mind, this ability has been thought to occur in children around age 4 years.

Young children can pass theory-of-mind experiments using rudimentary concepts of seeing and knowing, without an understanding of mental representation.
