Abstract

Theory of Mind and Metacognition, the two leading theoretical waves in the developmental field of children's knowledge about the mental world, present important conceptual commonalities. However, their developmental interconnection is scarcely addressed. This study investigates their link in a wide age range. Path analysis models revealed complex bidirectional interconnections.
