Define theory of mind and give an example of a situation involving a child who has not yet developed theory of mind
What will be an ideal response?
Theory of mind is an understanding that other people have a mind too, and that each person knows some things that other people don't know.
Example: A child watches as Maxi's mother hides some chocolate. Then when Maxi is absent, the mother moves the chocolate to a different place. Now Maxi returns and we ask the child where Maxi will look for the chocolate. A child who doesn't understand theory of mind will answer that Maxi looks in the new location.
