Familia-ingurua eta Gogamenaren Teoria 5 urteko umeengan

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of family context on the perfor-mance of 5-year-old children (N=70) in Theory of Mind (ToM) tasks. The children’s perfor-mances were assessed during individual sessions held at school. Interviews were also conducted with parents in the family home, in order to gather sociodemographic data and to assess diverse variables of the family context. The results support the influence of family context on ToM development, through variables such as quality of non-parental care or level of social contact and support. The educational implications of these results are discussed in relation to family intervention.
