Children are thought to develop an understanding of false beliefs around 4 years of age, which implicates a tie to a cultural process involving language. However, a new study suggests that infants as young as 15 months may have insight into whether a person acts on the basis of a mistaken view (false belief) about the world. In this article, Perner and Ruffman argue that the behavior of 15-month olds in this study does not mean that they necessarily understand belief. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/308/5719/214 " target="blank">www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/308/5719/214 </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
