Understanding Children's Worlds

Carpendale, Jeremy; Lewis, Charlie

This book provides a critical review of research into how children come to understand the social world, an area often known as children's "theories of mind".

• Takes an integrated approach to the development of children's social understanding
• Brings out the connections between mental state understanding and children's understanding of language, social skills, morality and emotions.
  Sets research within a historical and theoretical context
• Contributes unique insights and perspectives, particularly in its discussions of Piaget and Vygotsky, and in its Wittgensteinian focus on the role of language.
