PSYCH 709 Reasoning about Beliefs and Desires (0.50) SEM	Course ID: 012223
The ability to reason about what others think (believe) and want (desire) is crucial to social interaction, and when making sense of what we and others do. For example, in explaining why someone goes to a certain store we might say the she DESIRES to buy a hammer, and BELIEVES the store sells them. The ability to reason about beliefs, desires, and other mental states is often called "theory of mind." How this ability develops in childhood, has been grealty debated over the past 20 years, and remains mysterious (e.g. how can we learn that people have mental states when we cannot see mental states, but only infer them by observing people's behaviour). This course will mainly concern the development of theory of mind in childhood, and we will discuss the major empirical discoveries and theorectial positions in this area of investigation.

PSYCH 713 Theories of Pretence (0.50) LEC	Course ID: 010597
From early in development (18 months, if not earlier) children engage in and recognize pretence. For example, children can pretend that a banana is a telephone, that their juice is in an empty cup, or that a clean teddybear is dirty. Although pretence is often taken for granted, and perhaps considered childish, it is mysterious: How do children pretend, and purposely represent the world as different than it really is? And how are children able to recognize what others pretend? Are children behaviourists about pretend play? Or does successful pretence signal that your children engage in mental state reasoning ('theory of mind')? Theories of children's (and adults') pretence have sought to provide answers to the questions. These theroies are still actively debated, and are the main topic of this course. Relevant experimental work will also be discussed.
