The research is a continuation of work begun under a National Institutes of Health grant to Dr. Lillard to examine young children's understanding of pretense. This issue has recently become of critical interest in the realm of early social understanding, as many think pretending might be the venue by which understanding the mind proceeds. Dr. Lillard's past work suggests that children do not in fact have a good grasp of the mental underpinnings of pretense, whereas some very recent work coming from other laboratories suggests perhaps they do. The four research studies being carried out are designed to address these discrepancies. The interactive activities include a speaker series bringing five top women psychologists to the department, and a discussion series for women graduate students addressing professional development issues pertinent to women in psychology. Dr. Lillard will also run a graduate level seminar on pretend play and understanding the mind.

这项研究是在美国国立卫生研究院授予利拉德博士授予幼儿对假装的理解的延续工作的延续。 最近，这个问题已经成为早期社会理解领域的关键兴趣，因为许多人认为假装可能是理解思想继续前进的场所。 利拉德（Lillard）博士过去的工作表明，实际上，孩子们对假装的精神基础没有很好的理解，而其他实验室的一些最近工作表明，也许是这样。 进行的四项研究旨在解决这些差异。 互动活动包括一个演讲者系列，将五位顶级女性心理学家带到了部门，以及针对与心理学女性有关的专业发展问题的女研究生讨论系列。 Lillard博士还将在假装比赛和理解思想的研究生级研讨会上举办。
