Japanese 3- and 4-year-old children were tested on a test of metalinguistic awareness and offalse belief understanding. Work with English children has found an association between these two tasks, arguably because both require an understanding of representation. However, Japanese children were far worse than their western counterparts on the false belief task, and at least as good on the metalinguistic task, and thus there was no association between the tasks. Furthermore, children were no better on a colour naming task designed to control for the general information processing demands of the synonym task. Although further data is needed to make strong conclusions, the cross-cultural theoretical implications of this replication failure are discussed.
