The correct option is this: DAVIS WOULD SHOW SIMILAR DEVELOPMENT TO THAT OF A SENSORY NORMAL CHILD.
The theory of mind refers to one's ability to attribute mental states, such as intents, beliefs, knowledge, desires, etc, to oneself and to others and to understand that other people have desires, beliefs, intents, etc, that are different from one's own. Children develop the theory of mind between the ages of 4 and 5.
