Exploring the cognitive development of infants, this master's thesis delves into the concept of Theory of Mind, illustrating how young children perceive their surroundings. Using the relatable scenario of a child playing hide-and-seek, the thesis highlights the child's inability to recognize that others possess different perspectives and knowledge. This lack of understanding signifies the developmental stage where children have yet to grasp that others can see or know things beyond their immediate experience, marking a critical aspect of psychological growth.
