Adults reason differently about the actions of people than they do about the movements of inanimate objects. Objects move according to principles of physics while humans act according to mental states, such as their desires, beliefs, intentions and emotions. The knowledge that human behavior can be understood in terms of an actor’s probable psychological states constitutes an individual’s folk psychology or theory of mind. In trying to understand how a theory of mind develops, it is important to investigate whether infants demonstrate any implicit understanding of mental states or any abilities that might serve as a prerequisite to a theory of mind. In an infant-controlled visual habituation paradigm, we investigated one-year-old infants’ abilities to use an actress’ emotional display to predict which of two objects she was more likely to act on.
