The criteriological view is summarized by Montgomery as follows: Wittgenstein's argument [is] that the presence of criteria is necessary for teaching the meanings of various mental state terms to children and, also, for then gauging children's correct use of these terms. Children use the criteria to conceptualize the mental state and to infer its presence or absence.
