The representative figure of theory of mind is American educator Lu Meng. From the perspective of psychology, Monroe judged that education originated from children's unconscious imitation of adults according to the primitive historical facts that there were no schools, teachers and textbooks in primitive society. Meng Lu's mistake is that he attributed all education to imitation in the unconscious state, and did not understand that consciousness is the essential requirement for people to become human beings, and all human activities are purposeful behaviors under the control of consciousness.

Although pedagogy, biological origin theory and psychological right theory reveal the origin of education from different angles, their common defect is that they all deny the social attribute of education and think that education is a conscious and conscious activity, so they are all incorrect.
