Speaking of beliefs: Reporting or constituting mental entities?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
Gopnik's argument that instead of having privileged access we must develop a theory about our minds is criticized. First, the theory metaphor is too vague, and scientific concepts of what a theory is are left unexploited. Second, the studies Gopnik interprets as showing that children must develop a theory about their mental states are also compatible with the view that children have to develop these states.
