Abstract
A new experimental protocol for measuring children’s prejudice toward social minorities based on the trust game was developed. We measured implicit prejudice, theory of mind and intelligence in 5-6, 8-9 and 11-12 years-old children. We found an association between ToM skills and prejudice over and above differences in intelligence.
