DESCRIPTION: A dominant view in the literature is that theory of mind cons
 ists in a set\nof mental concepts - of belief\, desire etc. - and that chi
 ldren pass basic\ntests for these concepts by 6 years of age. Therefore\, 
 one of the challenges facing researchers who wish to study theory of mind 
 is how to conceptualise theory of mind in a way that allows for basic conc
 ept development and continuing change. I will suggest that we should disti
 nguish between conceptual\, cognitive and individual difference approaches
  to theory of mind\, which each have different implications for task devel
 opment and interpretation. And I will discuss evidence from our own work o
 n cognitive changes in theory of mind in children who already have the rel
 evant concepts.
