To address new questions, we gave a standard, well-controlled false-belief test to a large (n\u2009=\u2009200) sample of severely-to-profoundly deaf children aged 8\u201315\u00a0years in a non-Western culture (Thailand). There were 190 deaf children of hearing parents and 10 deaf native signers with signing deaf parents, consistent with overall population ratios. Comparing our Thai sample\u2019s ToM performance on standard tests of false-belief understanding with that reported in past studies, our results showed a 67% ToM success rate for Thai severely-to-profoundly deaf children of hearing parents similar to collective findings from past research on smaller samples in Australia, Estonia, France, Great Britain, Sweden, and the United States. Our Thai deaf native signers likewise performed equivalently to native signers of similar age studied in past research in Australia and the United States. Collectively, the detailed findings of our study suggest promising new directions for future studies to pursue in order to build upon this novel and theoretically provocative evidence about how ToM development and ToM delay unfold for school-aged deaf children growing up in varied cultures, school settings, and family circumstances.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/deafed\/enaa036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,9]],"date-time":"2020-10-09T11:16:42Z","timestamp":1602242202000},"page":"241-250","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Theory of Mind (ToM) Development in Thai Deaf Children"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Parinya","family":"Siriattakul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chulalongkorn University, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Panrapee","family":"Suttiwan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chulalongkorn University, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Virginia","family":"Slaughter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Queensland, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7870-1219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Candida C","family":"Peterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Queensland, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021031915533284300_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.7551\/mitpress\/4635.001.0001","volume-title":"Mindblindness: An essay on autism and theory of mind","author":"Baron-Cohen","year":"1995"},{"key":"2021031915533284300_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"378","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0956-7976.2005.01544.x","article-title":"Synchrony in the onset of mental-state reasoning: Evidence from five cultures","volume":"16","author":"Callaghan","year":"2005","journal-title":"Psychological Science"},{"key":"2021031915533284300_ref3","first-page":"79","volume-title":"Psychological perspectives on deafness","author":"Courtin","year":"1998"},{"issue":"1","key":"2021031915533284300_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-7687.2005.00389.x","article-title":"Metacognitive development of deaf children: Lessons from the appearance-reality and false belief tasks","volume":"8","author":"Courtin","year":"2005","journal-title":"Developmental Science"},{"key":"2021031915533284300_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"989","DOI":"10.1111\/cdev.12017","article-title":"Silent films and strange stories: Theory of mind, gender, and social experiences in middle childhood","volume":"84","author":"Devine","year":"2013","journal-title":"Child Development"},{"key":"2021031915533284300_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"32","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cogdev.2017.08.005","article-title":"Links among parents\u2019 mental state language, family socioeconomic status, and preschoolers\u2019 theory of mind development","volume":"44","author":"Ebert","year":"2017","journal-title":"Cognitive Development"},{"issue":"2","key":"2021031915533284300_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.1080\/02667360600720146","article-title":"Deaf children\u2019s understanding of other people\u2019s thought processes","volume":"22","author":"Edmondson","year":"2006","journal-title":"Educational Psychology in Practice"},{"key":"2021031915533284300_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1093\/acprof:oso\/9780195159912.003.0004","volume-title":"Why language matters for theory of mind","author":"Harris","year":"2005"},{"key":"2021031915533284300_ref9","first-page":"811","volume-title":"Handbook of child psychology","author":"Harris","year":"2006"},{"issue":"9","key":"2021031915533284300_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1041","DOI":"10.1093\/jpepsy\/jss086","article-title":"Does hearing lead to understanding?
