metadata.value: This research is devoted to the study of the connection between executive functions and theory
  of mind in the older preschool age. Despite the active study of this field in foreign psychology,
  similar experimental studies in Russia are still relatively few, and very few of them are
  devoted to preschool age. It can be assumed that this situation is related, among other things,
  to the lack of a developed diagnostic tool aimed at studying the theory of mind. In this regard,
  the purpose of our investigation was to study the connection between the development of the
  theory of mind and the development of executive functions with the help of foreign methods
  of diagnosing these abilities adapted by us. The study involved 267 children aged 5–6 years
  (143 boys and 124 girls), pupils of the older groups of kindergartens in Moscow. The analysis
  of the obtained results showed the presence of significant connections between all three
  components of executive functions (working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibition)
  and the success of performing tasks on the theory of mind. Also, three types of development
  of executive functions in preschool children were identified, and differences in the success of
  individual tasks on the theory of mind in children belonging to different types were revealed.
  The results of the correlation and cluster analysis testify to the connection between the level of
  the child’s understanding of false beliefs and such components of cognitive control as inhibition
  and switching. Thus, the conducted research shows the connection between the theory of
  mind and cognitive regulation in the senior preschool age. Further study of cognitive abilities
  of preschool children will help to better understand and study the logic of development of
  such significant social skills as emotional regulation, building positive relationships with peers
  and successful behavior in the classroom.
