    "title": "The Relationship Between Mental-state Language and False-belief Understandingin Adulthood",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Research has revealed a robust relationship between preschooler’s use of mental-state language (e.g. think, know)and performance on false-belief tasks (e.g. Ruffman, Slade & Crow, 2002). However, investigations of this relationship withschool-aged children have shown mixed results, making it unclear whether mental-state talk continues to play a role in false-belief understanding following the preschool years (e.g. Charman & Shmueli-Goetz, 1998; Grazzini & Ornaghi, 2012). Thisdiscrepancy may result from the fact that preschooler’s talk has consistently been assessed during interpersonal interactions withpeers, siblings, and parents, while school-aged children’s talk has been assessed via descriptions of wordless picture books orabsent friends. The present study bridges this gap by exploring whether adults’ use of mental-state language during interactioncorrelates with their false-belief performance. In doing so, we help to shed light on an important issue in theoretical accountsof the development of false-belief understanding.",
