幼儿错误信念理解与语言关系的纵向研究

本研究采用纵向实验研究的方法,在六个月的时间里,考察了51名三岁半不同语言能力幼儿错误信念理解与一般语言能力发展之间的关系。结果发现:在3岁半到4岁之间,汉语幼儿的错误信念理解能力发生了显著变化;语言能力超常组在错误信念任务上的表现显著好于普通语言能力组幼儿;幼儿错误信念理解能力和一般语言能力发展之间存在密切联系,但难以确定二者相互作用的方向。

A Longitudinal Study on the Relationship between False Beliefs and Language of Young Children with Different Language Ability

51 monolingual Chinese-speaking children age 3.5 were tested in a 6-month observation to determine the relationship between false-beliefs and language development,additionally,to investigate the reciprocal mechanisms between false linguistic beliefs and language abilities.The major findings are as follows:(1) comprehension is amazingly improved during age 3.5-to 4 for false-linguistic beliefs;the linguistically transcendent group outshines their peers with normal language abilities;(2) preschoolers' ability to understand false belief and general language ability are intimately related over time,but the issue of cause and effect is also unclear.
