Basic, early, advanced, and combined ToM relate to the scores from the Theory of Mind Inventory (ToMI-2; Hutchins & Prelock, 2016) and were performed on scaled scores; receptive grammar data were not available for one child; IQ data were not available for 3 children; ToMI-2 data were not available for one child.
