Abstract: Theory of Mind (ToM) encompasses various components of social cognition (SC), including the Naïve Utility Calculus (NUC), which emerge during early childhood, enhancing children's abilities to navigate the social world and comprehend and predict others' intentions. This study focuses on the development and validation of computer-based tasks, the Theory of Mind Task (ToMT), to assess ToM in children aged 3 to 8, offering evidence of content validity. The study was conducted in three phases: (1) task development and refinement through an extensive literature review and feedback from social cognition experts; (2) evaluation of content validity, including a qualitative analysis and quantitative review by an expert panel to determine the Content Validity Coefficient (CVC); and (3) a pilot study providing preliminary exploratory analysis, comprehension, and acceptance of the ToMT. The findings suggest that the ToMT has content validity and represents a promising tool for assessing ToM. The ToMT is an innovative computer-based tool for evaluating these constructs in children, with the potential to advance the understanding of the development of these important skills in childhood.
