“…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).…”
