Consistent with the "early onset” view, it is suggested that important precursors of a theory of mind are found much earlier than the age of 4. Research on emotional development and intentional communication is reviewed to suggest that some rudimentary understanding of other people's minds occurs before the age of 2. Later, 3-year-olds' engagement in pretense and deception demonstrates a more sophisticated understanding of other people's mental states. Limitations of the false belief task for determining the acquisition of a theory of mind will be discussed with reference to findings in the adult literature.
