Studies suggests that media such as television and movies may lower a child's theory of mind abilities.

Theory of mind is a person's ability to attribute different mental states to oneself and others, it is also the ability to comprehend that other's have different intentions, beliefs, and desires then oneself. If someone has regular theory of mind abilities they will most likely be able to explain and predict the actions of another person based off of their mental state. 

This first visual element is a graph that describes how children across three different ages scored on a Theory of Mind Test. From the graph one can see the ages that were tested, as well as it shows viewers that there is a positive correlation between age and theory of mind abilities, suggesting that these ages are crucial for theory of mind development. 

This second visual aid is a photograph of the false-belief task where the puppet moves an object between different boxes both when the actor is and is not looking. People with good theory of mind abilities will be able to correctly say where the actor believes the ball will be, however, people with lower theory of mind abilities will usually not be able to predict where the actor will believe the ball to be. 

The third visual is a graphic of the Sally-and-Anne test that many psychologist use to explain theory of mind as well as to test children on their theory of mind abilities. This visual is similar to the above visual in that an object is moved between two boxes and a child must pick where they think the actor, or Sally, will believe the object to be.

All three of these visual elements directly relate to theory of mind in children in someway. The second and third photo, although they describe the theory of mind test, are not explanatory. Someone who does not study psychology would probably never have seen either of these experiments. The first graph is the most explanatory, a viewer can tell what exactly it is about and what the purpose of the graph is.
