The current study explored bilingual parent and child code-switching patterns over time. Concurrent and predictive models of code-switching behaviour on executive function outcomes were also examined in a sample of 29 French-English bilinguals at 36 (Wave 1) and 61 (Wave 2) months of age. We investigated whether code-switching typology in a single-language context predicted executive function performance at each wave independently, and whether growth in code-switching frequency across waves predicted executive function performance at Wave 2.

- The study explores whether babies understand that other beings can have incorrect beliefs, even when those beings are not human, like a toy crane.
- Researchers found that when the crane moved towards a new location of a toy, babies looked longer, suggesting they thought the crane didn't know where the toy was.
- This shows that even very young infants might think about how other things, like toys, could have their own beliefs.
