Résumé
MOST PSYCHOLOGISTS CLAIM THAT WE BEGIN TO DEVELOP A "THEORY of mind" - some basic ideas about other people's minds - at age two or three, by inference, deduction, and logical reasoning. But does this mean that small -babies are unaware of minds ? As this book explains, there is compelling evidence that babies in the first year of life can tease, pretend, feel self-conscious, and joke with people. Using observations from infants' everyday interactions with their families, Vasudevi Reddy argues that such early emotional engagements show infants' growing awareness of other people's attention, expectations, and intentions.
