Theory of Mind When the infant is first brought into the world, he/she does not have the

logic, reason, or the inhibitory process. To make their needs known, the child uses more primitive mechanisms. The child has a more primitive mind. Included in the primitive mind are the fight/flight mechanisms. As the child grows, it develops the inhibitory processes. How does the baby learn? There are only two fears that a baby is born with, the fear of falling and the fear of loud noise. Everything else is learned by association and identification. From age zero to approximately age eight, the child develops a library of these associations and identifications. He/She learns that some of these are good (positive) and some of these are bad (negative). These positive and negative associations form, what is referred to as out "life script". This life script is formed from what we know. The child does not yet know good from bad or right from wrong. He/She is only aware of the associations and identifications. Between the ages of eight and twelve, (approximately), we start to develop logic and reason. We are capable of making decisions and developing will power. This becomes our conscious mind, which represents 10% of our total mind power. The subconscious mind is made up of the remaining 90% of our total mind power.
