Abstract

This experimental intervention assessed the level of understanding of the other's mind, in a 6 year old child with a pervasive developmental disorder. It showed that the principle of "seeing-leads-to-knowing" needed to be taught using a joint action routine called a "treasure hunt." The results were as follows. First, the child gradually became able to conceal information as to the whereabouts of a toy he had hidden. Second, the child became able to deceive his peers by such acts as emphasizing the wrong cup. Third, the child became able to use the principle of "seeing-leads-to-knowing" interacting with other children and adults. Fourth, the number of the utterances referring to others' mental states increased. However, the child could not pass the false belief task. The preceding results were discussed in terms of the efficacy of the intervention using a joint action routine.
