Els humans sentim un profund respecte per la mort des de temps immemorials, però massa sovint aquest respecte és més intens que el que sentim per la pròpia vida. Altrament, costa d'entendre que les recents imatges de soldats alemanys jugant amb cranis d'una fossa comuna a l'Afganistan hagin causat tant rebombori o més que les innombrables víctimes civils que diàriament es produeixen en aquest i en altres conflictes, els cranis de les quals podrien haver-se estalviat d'anar a parar tan precipitadament i abans d'hora a una fossa. De fet, em temo que no és respecte per la mort en si mateixa el que sentim, sinó por a la pròpia mort, al patiment personal i a l'angoixa que sentim per la pèrdua d'un ésser estimat, que reflectim i intentem superar d'aquesta manera en unes despulles inertes, tant profanant-les com sacralitzant-les [...]

Developmental Readiness in the Understanding of Own and Other’s False Beliefs

One of the most important milestones in the development of theory of mind is the understanding of false beliefs. This study compares children’s understanding of representational change and others’ false beliefs and evaluates the effectiveness of an appearance-reality training for improving children’s false belief understanding. A total of 78 children ranging in age from 41 to 47 months were trained in three sessions and evaluated in a pretest and in a posttest. The results show that for children it is easier to understand representational change than false beliefs in others, and that the improvement after training was greater when starting from a higher score in the pretest. The implications of this for training in false belief understanding are discussed

Children's understanding of pretend emotions

This preliminary study aims to investigate children’s ability to understand that the emotional expressions that occur in pretend play do not necessarily coincide with the emotions people feel inside. Previous research has found that children aged 4 and 6 have difficulty to distinguish between the external and the internal emotion of a character who pretends an emotion. In the present work, thirteen 4-year-olds and eight 6-year-olds were administered stories in which a character simulated an emotion. Differently from previous research, the questions addressed to the children did not focus on the distinction external/internal emotion but on the distinction between real/pretend emotion. Furthermore, since previous research has suggested that children may understand better selfpretence than pretence of others, the participants in our study were engaged in a pretence situation where they had to pretend to be happy. The results obtained showed that, contrary to previous research, most 4- and 6-year-olds realize that pretend emotions may not be real, and this was true both for self-pretence and for the pretence of others

Habilidades de cognición social en niños y niñas con el síndrome de Down: resultados de un estudio preliminar

The understanding of false belief is one of the most important milestones in the development of social cognition in children. Many studies have been conducted on this kind of cognition in children with a typical development. Despite being a key point for improving their welfare and quality of life, there are few studies in children with Down's syndrome. The aim of the present work is to carry out an in-depth study of social cognition in children with Down's syndrome. For this purpose, we used 6 tasks, with 3 levels of difficulty, in a group of 9 children aged between 4 and 14 years. Six of these children had a genetic diagnosis of Down's syndrome. The results of our research corroborate previous studies suggesting difficulties in the development of social cognition in children with Down's syndrome, and more specifically in tasks involving false beliefs
