With infants being able to know someone's mental state, they can act upon that and choose a behavioral response. The eighteen-month-old infants showed understanding of this and the sixteen-month-old infants did, but they were not fully aware. That concludes that it only fully evident that at eighteen months old, infants have an understanding of false belief. In conclusion, it is thought that understanding false belief is developed around four to five years of age, but through experimentation, it has been shown that infants start to understand false beliefs around 16 - 18 months. They are able to understand through people and behavior, they act upon helping others, and they imagine a person's mental state. In this study particularly, majority of the infants chose correctly demonstrating this, and reiterating that false beliefs are understood in
