DESCRIPTION:Interest in eye movements as a window on social cognition has 
 been sparked by recent eye-tracking studies using non-verbal false-belief 
 tasks showing that infants as young as 13 months are able to keep track of
  other people's beliefs. As ground-breaking as the use of eye-monitoring t
 echniques has been in recent Theory of Mind research\, earlier development
 al studies using traditional false-belief tasks had\nalready revealed chil
 dren's improved performance using eye-movement measures.\nIn this talk\, I
  will review eye-tracking research on perspective taking and false-belief 
 reasoning both with children and adults\, and discuss possible reasons why
 \neye movements might reveal better results than other measures of false-b
 elief understanding. I will also report the results of my own eye-tracking
  experiments\nand discuss those patterns of eye movements that could be in
 terpreted as evidence of an 'egocentric bias'. Finally\, I will leave open
  for discussion and feedback some follow-up projects for the near future.
