Variación intencional en tareas de Teoría de la Mente Moralmente relevante (MoToM)

Abstract

The relationship between the Theory of Mind (ToM) and moral judgment allowed the design of Morally Relevant Theory of Mind (MoToM) tasks, which integrate intentional reading to the elaboration of such judgments. This paper describes the production of a MoToM variation in the moral judgment with intentional reading by children of 5 and 8 years old. They applied a MoToM task and its variation, giving two estimates of moral judgment both before and after the variation. Significant differences were found between ages before the elaboration of the variation. The relationship between ToM and moral judgment was confirmed, recognizing other aspects of development which are significant for the integration of intentionality in making judgments
