Abstract: The present study examined whether three-year-old children (age = 42-48 months, n=57; 31 boys) understand that object identities stipulated during pretend play could only be known by people witnessing the stipulation. Children participated in pretend scenarios that included some objects and two experimenters. Two pretend episodes corresponded to an object: one connected to its conventional function, the other to a pretend identity made up on the spot. These episodes happened either in the presence or absence … Show more

“…Further empirical evidence also suggests that children have a mentalistic interpretation of pretending. From around the age of three, preschoolers seem to keep track of their game partner's knowledge about current stipulations -for example, they correctly report what their partner beliefs about the pretend state-of-affairs even in case the stipulation has been changed in their absence (Hickling et al, 1997) and refrain from generalizing knowledge about the pretend identity of an object to an ignorant partner (Andrási, Schvajda & Király, 2022). Additionally, at the same age, children keep track of the identity of objects in different games and refrain from including them in another (Weisberg & Bloom, 2009) and can appropriately modify their behavior with the same object according to the current pretend scenario (Wyman & Rakoczy, 2009).…”

“…Empirical evidence suggests that children follow to whom the pretend framework is applicable. For example, three-year-old children accurately report that another person may have a false belief about the current pretend stipulation (Hickling et al, 1997;Kalish, Weissman & Bergstein, 2000) and follow that the pretend identity of an object can only be known by people who were part of a pretend episode (Andrási, Schvajda & Király, 2022).…”
