Abstract
The aim of this narrative review was to shed further light on children’s development of social cognition in the 0-6 years period, in relation to both theory of mind and emotion understanding, and with a particular focus on language as crucial developmental factor. Two areas of interest were flagged for future research: social cognition in infancy and the implementation of validated intervention programs.
