THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEORY OF MIND AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS IN 4 AND 5 YEAR OLD CHILDREN
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEORY OF MIND AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS IN 4 AND 5 YEAR OLD CHILDREN

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the analysis is to see the relationship between Mind Theory (ToM) and Executive Function (FE) in children aged 4 and 5 and aged (preschool) and whether there are gender differences in the performance of Mind Theory tasks. The subjects in the study were 61 students aged 5 and 6, who were assessed through two tasks for Theory of Mind and two tasks for Executive Functions, in the kindergarten "Hello" in Gjilan. The correlated results confirm that there is a significant positive correlation between Mind Theory and Executive Functions, while t-test analysis shows that there are significant gender differences between the results of ToM’s tasks. These results also find support from other research. Based on our findings and the literature referred to in the study, we recommend that more research be done in the Kosovo context regarding ToMand FE, and the factors that drive their development.
