Abstract

Th e article presents the results of a study of the Th eory of Mind as a mental basis of the process of creating narrations during communication. Methodical tasks and methods of evaluation were con-structed to describe communication messages. Analysis of various information parameters of narra-tions was carried out on basis of more than 150 retellings of preschool children about events relating diff erent content: events of mental and physical causality and humorous events. Th e results demon-strate the consistency in development of mental understanding and informative retellings as well as some features in the construction of narratives.
