【摘要】 本研究试图探讨Sabbagh(2006)提出的更新(up-to-date)是否是导致执行功能参与儿童错误信念发展的本质原因。对103名35岁儿童施测错误信念、信号任务,执行功能任务。结果显示:相关、多重回归分析显示排除更新的影响后,执行功能与错误信念成绩相关显著;路径分析表明执行功能对错误信念存在直接影响,而更新则通过执行功能对错误信念产生间接影响;探索性因素分析表明,错误信号等中包含的更新成分从属于执行功能。本研究结果与Sabbagh的结果不完全相符,据此推论更新并不是导致执行功能参与错误信念发展的本质原因。更多还原

【Abstract】 Mark Sabbagh(2006) conducted two studies which showed that children’s reasoning about false beliefs and false signs was predicted by their emerging executive functioning skills,whereas their reasoning about false photographs was not.He concluded this characteristic of representation tasks could be named"up-to-date"or updating.Our study was the to investigate whether updating is the root-cause of the fact that the development of ToM is predicted by the executive function.We found evidence that besides the"upto -date"factor,there are other deep-level factors which lead to the fact that the development of ToM is predicted by executive functioning ability.Executive function has a profound direct effect on the children’s ToM development.更多还原
