This study investigates the impact of evidentiality on source monitoring and the impact of source monitoring on false belief understanding (FBU), while controlling for short-term memory, age, gender, and receptive vocabulary. One hundred (50 girls) monolingual 3- and 4-year-olds from Turkey and the UK participated in the study in 2019. In Turkish, children's use of direct evidentiality predicted their source monitoring skills, which, in turn, predicted their FBU. In English, FBU was not related to source monitoring. Combined results from both languages revealed that Turkish-speaking children had better FBU than English-speaking children, and only for Turkish-speaking children, better source monitoring skills predicted better FBU. This suggests an indirect impact of evidentiality on FBU by means of source monitoring in Turkish.
本研究调查了证据性对来源监控的影响，以及来源监控对错误信念理解（FBU）的影响，同时控制了短期记忆、年龄、性别和接受性词汇量。2019 年，来自土耳其和英国的 100 名（50 名女孩）单语 3 岁和 4 岁儿童参与了这项研究。在土耳其语中，儿童对直接证据性的使用预测了他们的来源监控技能，而来源监控技能又预测了他们的 FBU。在英语中，FBU 与来源监控无关。来自两种语言的综合结果表明，讲土耳其语的儿童比讲英语的儿童有更好的 FBU，而且只有讲土耳其语的儿童，更好的来源监控技能预测了更好的 FBU。这表明在土耳其语中，证据性通过来源监控对 FBU 有间接影响。
