Answers will vary. Adults appear to have a commonsense understanding of how the mind works-that is, a theory of mind. We understand that we can gain knowledge through our senses or through hearsay. We know the distinction between actual and mental events and between how things appear and how they really are. We can infer the perceptions, thoughts, and feelings of others. We understand that mental states affect behavior.
