Skalierung von “Theory of Mind“-Aufgaben

Susanne Kristen; Claudia Thoermer; Tanja Hofer; Gisa Aschersleben; Beate Sodian

Zusammenfassung. Die von Wellman und Liu (2004) fur den englischsprachigen Raum entwickelte “Theory of Mind“-Skala wurde in einer Ubersetzung (Hofer & Aschersleben, 2004) an einer Stichprobe von 107 3- bis 5-jahrigen Kindern validiert. Sowohl die Annahme einer einheitlichen konzeptuellen Progression als auch die Skalenpassung konnten repliziert werden. Abweichend von Wellman und Liu (2004) fand sich ein Effekt der Aufgabenfolge mit einer besseren Skalenpassung und insgesamt besserer Performanz bei nach Schwierigkeit ansteigender Prasentation. Insgesamt sprechen die Befunde dafur, dass die deutsche Version der “Theory of Mind“-Skala die Entwicklung der begrifflichen Erschliesung des mentalen Bereichs im Vorschulalter adaquat abbildet und eine zuverlassige Methode darstellt, den individuellen Stand der “Theory of Mind“-Entwicklung zu messen.

Infants' Perception of Goal-Directed Actions on Video.

Tanja Hofer; Petra Hauf; Gisa Aschersleben

Imitation studies and object search studies show that infants have difficulties using action information presented on video to guide their own behaviour. The present study investigated whether infants also have problems interpreting information shown on video relative to real live information. It was examined whether 6-month-olds interpret an action with a salient action effect as goal-directed when it is performed by an actor on a video-screen and when it is performed by a live actor. A video presentation of a goal-directed action display was presented to one group of infants, and another group received the same action display, matched in all details, live on a stage. Results indicate that 6-month-olds in the video group as well as in the live group interpreted the human action as goal-directed. Moreover, comparison across both groups revealed no difference in the overall looking pattern between the video and the live presentation group. Thus, our findings show that infants as young as 6 months of age can take important information from video clips and interpret televised actions in meaningful ways that is equivalent to their interpretation of live actions.
