greetings

Egon

Thank you very much Egon.

Robyn Fivush has done a lot of work on this topic:

Thanks Kamala.

I'll have a ook at it this evening.

Special issue of British Journal of Developmental Psychology edited by Claire Hughes and Marc de Rosnay, 2006.

Veneziano (2013) Journal of pragmatics

Thank you very much Silvia. It's a very interesting paper. 

Dear Paulo,

actually we recently published a paper about a conversation-based training in order to foster theory-of-mind development:

Lecce, S., Bianco, F., Devine, R., Hughes, C., & Banerjee, R. (2014). Promoting theory of mind in middle childhood: A training program. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 126,  52-67. doi:10.1016/j.jecp.2014.03.002

In that work you can find a paragraph specifically deserved to the Conversational Approach to ToM development, with a lot of references.

If you are interested in younger children this paper is quite interesting:

Ornaghi, V., Brockmeier, J., & Grazzani, I. (2011). The role of language games in children’s understanding of mental states: A training study. Journal of Cognition and Development, 12, 239–259.

Citing your question, I hope that you can find of some interest the works.

All the best,

Federica

Hi Federica,

Thank you very much for both references. Your paper is quite interesting I've just had a quick glance.

Best, 

Paulo

Hi Iolanda,

Paulo

My colleagues and I have also recently published a paper on this topic:

Valentino, K., Nuttall, A. K., Comas, M., McDonnell, C. G., Piper, B., Thomas, T., & Fanuele, S. (2014). Mother-child reminiscing and autobiographical memory specificity among preschool-aged children. Developmental Psychology, 15(4), 1197-1207. doi: 10.1037/a0034912

Thank you very much Amy. I shall have a look later today.

Paulo

Hello Paulo, this maybe of interest to you: http://www.uk.sagepub.com/books/Book237583#tabview=google

Have a look for anything on 'Sustained Shared Thinking' in the early years too.

Best wishes

Philip 

Thanks, Philip. 

I just had a quick browse and it looks like a really relevant book the kind of reference I'm looking for. 

Do you have an interest in 'joint engagement' or 'joint attention'? 

Hello again Paulo

No not specifically as it would seem to apply more to those with a psychology background and perhaps with an interest in children with special needs.  Maybe you have found this already:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2640949/

My background and interest is more early education / pedagogy with 'mainstream' children - you might find this an interesting start for looking into SST:

Best wishes

Philip  

Thank you very much, Philip. 

I shall have a look at these references. 

Paulo

I my MPhil i looked at a philosophy for children programme and its effect on the development of metacognition of 4 and 5 year olds. You might want to look at the p4c and teaching thinking literature,  i read a lot on the conversation and thinking skills. I am sure there is a lot more on the topic now.
