For this reason, the current investigation is aimed at exploring the development of the TM in children aged between 4 to 12-years-old and its relation to both abilities. The results support a view according to which there is a developmental progression in the understanding of the mind. In general, both language and EF are involved in the child’s understanding of the mind. However, they are related to the TM development in a different way as a function of age
