Linguistic cues facilitate children’s understanding of belief-reporting sentences (2021, background): “…while more recent research using spontaneous non-verbal tasks found that infants in their second year of life can already reason about others’ false beliefs (e.g. Onishi & Baillargeon, 2005; Song et al., 2008; Southgate et al., 2007; Surian et al., 2007; for a review, see Baillargeon et al., 2010).”

Testing theory of mind in large language models and humans (2024, methodology): “…tasks have been developed to study it, including indirect measures of belief attribution using reaction times 4–6 and looking or searching behaviour 7–9 , tasks examining the ability to infer mental states from photographs of eyes 10 , and language-based tasks assessing false belief understanding…”
