Towards a theory of mind [PDF]
The language of nonlinear dynamical systems and ergodic theory is used to present a theoretical framework for the study of mind. The basic space X consists of the collection of all brain images (clusters of activated neurons) that are relevant to ...

Summary: Even though the Theory of Mind in upper primates has been under investigation for decades, how it may evolve remains an open problem. We propose here an evolutionary game theoretical model where a finite population of individuals may use ...

What is ‘theory of mind’? Maxi eats half his chocolate bar and puts the rest away in the kitchen cupboard. Then he goes out to play in the sun. Meanwhile Maxi’s mother comes into the kitchen, opens the cupboard and sees the chocolate bar. She puts it in the fridge. When Maxi comes back into the kitchen, where will he look for his chocolate bar?

“An Incomplete Theory of the Mind” [PDF]
Clark offers a detailed description of certain current views of the brain that define it as a “prediction machine.” According to these accounts, it is a hierarchically organized processing unit whose main role is elaborate top-down predictions about sensory inputs, and compute a bottom-up prediction error (PE) which will help refine future predictions.

A commentary on theory of mind [PDF]
“You don’t know what I’m thinking,” my 3-year-old granddaughter called to me from her car seat. Her out of-the-blue, metacognitive comment confirmed that, despite inconsistent performance on false belief tasks, young children reveal sophisticated mindreading abilities in their spontaneous talk (Shatz, 1994).

Impairments in theory of mind following traumatic brain injury: A systematic review
Introduction Theory of Mind (ToM) enables one to reflect upon the thoughts and emotions of others and oneself. Brain damage can lead to impaired social cognition resulting from ToM deficits. Studies examining ToM in patients with Traumatic Brain Injury

Theory of Mind—the ability to infer others’ mental states—is a fundamental part of human social cognition. For decades, researchers have studied whether nonhuman primates have similar representational capacities. While the majority of studies investigating nonhuman primate Theory of Mind have been conducted with captive populations, this review focuses

Gender differences in theory of mind, empathic understanding, and moral reasoning in an offending and a matched non-offending population [PDF]
Previous research suggests that a lack of pro-social skills is characteristic of an offending personality. Two hundred male and female offenders and matched controls completed measures to assess: Theory of Mind, empathic understanding, and moral ...

Theory of mind research has traditionally focused on the ascription of mental states to a single individual. Here, we introduce a theory of collective mind: the ascription of a unified mental state to a group of agents with convergent experiences. Rather than differentiation between one's personal perspective and that of another agent, a theory of ...
