• Understanding and sharing intentions: The origins of cultural cognition (2005, background): “Along with others who have addressed related questions (e.g., see Carpendale & Lewis 2004; Symons 2004), they appeal to Vygotsky’s notion of internalisation to explain how dialogic representations of others’ intentional relations become transferred to the intrapsychological plane (Vygotsky 1987).”
• How do use and comprehension of mental-state language relate to theory of mind in middle childhood? (2012, background): “…an association between the frequency with which they use mental-state terms during spontaneous conversation and their scores on false-belief ToM tasks (Brown, Donelan-McCall, & Dunn, 1996; Hughes, Lecce, & Wilson, 2007; Ornaghi & Grazzani Gavazzi, 2009; Ruffman et al., 2002; Symons, 2004).”
• Mind-mindedness in children: Individual differences in internal-state talk in middle childhood (2006, background): “A growing corpus of research findings has documented associations between talk about mental states and children’s developing capacities for representing and reasoning with suchmental states (for reviews, see Carpendale & Lewis, 2004; Symons, 2004).”
• Parent-Child Reminiscing Locates the Self in the Past. (2006, background): “This is an extremely interesting avenue to pursue for multiple reasons, including findings that children with older siblings perform better on traditional theory of mind tasks (see Carpendale & Lewis, 2004, and Symons, 2004, for reviews).”

• Development: The cultural solution of universal developmental tasks. (2013, background): “For instance, there are studies on cross-cultural variation in the timing of motor development (Konner, 1991; Super, 1976), theory of mind (Symons, 2004; Vinden, 1999, 2002; Wellman, Cross, & Watson, 2001), and autobiographical memory (Schr ö der, K ä rtner,”
• The Role of Language Games in Children's Understanding of Mental States: A Training Study (2011, background): “…different aspects of the relationship between children’s use of mental state terms in spontaneous conversations with parents, siblings, and peers and their performance on theory-of-mind tasks (Hughes, Lecce, & Wilson, 2007; LaBounty, Wellman, Olson, Lagattuta, & Liu, 2008; Symons, 2004).”
