Challenging theory-theory accounts of social understanding: Where is the social constructivist advantage?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2004
Abstract:
Carpendale & Lewis (C&L) contend that correlations between sociolinguistic factors and theory-of-mind performance indicate that social knowledge develops from social interactive processes. However, theory-theory proponents also regard these correlations as compatible with their view of how mental concepts develop. A more fruitful distinction lies in the differences of both accounts in explaining how mental concepts acquire meaning.
