Two-year-olds engage in many behaviors that ostensibly require the attribution of mental
states to other individuals. Yet the overwhelming consensus has been that children of this
age are unable to attribute false beliefs. In the current study, we used an eyetracker to record
infants' looking behavior while they watched actions on a computer monitor. Our data
demonstrate that 25-month-old infants correctly anticipate an actor's actions when these
actions can be predicted only by attributing a false belief to the actor.
