Korzystanie z informacji o przekonaniach w tworzeniu argumentu perswazyjnego. Rola rozumienia fałszywych przekonań I i II rzędu
Use of information on belief in creating a persuasive argument. The role of understanding first and second order false beliefs

Summary/Abstract: Whether and when children can apply their developing understanding of belief to persuasion was examined using picture stories tasks. Children created or selected arguments to persuade a parent. In 2 studies, 253 children (aged 4–8 years) engaged in persuasion tasks and in first and second order false-belief reasoning tasks. The belief-relevant argument increased with age. The understanding of false beliefs proved to be a predictor of the ability to refer to the cognitive perspective of others in creating and selecting a persuasive argument. The results suggest that improvements in belief reasoning in early and middle childhood may be refl ected in social interactions such as persuasion.
