Abstract
In response to A. Lillard's (1998) suggestion that research on theory of mind does not adequately examine the cultural context of this think ing, the author proposes an extension of this view that emphasizes the development of theory of mind in sociocultural context. Questions abo ut the study of theory of mind both across and within cultural communi ties are also raised.
