What will be an ideal response?
Theory of mind is a person's theory of what other people might be thinking. In order
to have a theory of mind, children must realize that other people are not necessarily

may not reflect reality. The development of theory of mind is partly dependent on
age-related maturation of the prefrontal cortex.
