Materials Two stories from Sullivan et al.’s (1994) second order false belief attribution tasks were used to assess children’s understanding of second order beliefs. WHAT Or An apparatus for assessing conditioned place preference consisted of two, 2 ft by 2 ft enclosures joined by a 3 in long, 2 in diameter plastic tunnel. Both of the enclosures had open tops and one enclosure had white walls whereas the other had black walls. Design The experiment used a 3x2 between subjects design. The independent variables were age and understanding of second order beliefs. HOW Procedure An examiner interviewed children individually at their school in one session that lasted 20 minutes. The examiner explained to each child that he or she would be told two short stories and that some questions would be asked after each story. All sessions were videotaped and the data was coded from the videotape.  Demographics Table Table 1 Put a title in here Place a Place b Place c Place d Population (n) 15000 27000 12500 14627 Average income $18000 $67000 $45000 $86 (per annum) Pets (n) 18 6790 3872 1  Cover Page The Lab Report Abstract Method Results Method Practice USI’s Thank you Next Week: Research Ethics
