Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ability to understand and infer someone else's mental state and feelings is known as theory of mind. It is the ability to predict someone else's behavior by understanding their thoughts and emotions, as well as having an awareness of one's own feelings, thoughts, and perceptions. Formal operational thinking is a cognitive stage of development, the principle of conservation refers to the idea that quantity remains constant despite changes in shape or arrangement, and a secure attachment pertains to the bond a child has with their caregiver. None of these options encompass the concept of understanding others' mental states and using that information to predict their behavior.
