This book comprises 26 exciting chapters by internationally
renowned scholars, addressing the central psychological process
separating humans from other animals: the ability to imagine the
thoughts and feelings of others, and to reflect on the contents of
our own mindsa theory of mind (ToM). The four sections of the book
cover developmental, cultural, and neurobiological approaches to
ToM across different populations and species. The chapters explore
the earliest stages of development of ToM in infancy, and how
plastic ToM learning is; why 3-year-olds typically fail false
belief tasks and how ToM continues to develop beyond childhood into
adulthood; the debate between simulation theory and theory theory;
cross-cultural perspectives on ToM and how ToM develops differently
in deaf children; how we use our ToM when we make moral judgments,
and the link between emotional intelligence and ToM; the neural
basis of ToM measured by evoked response potentials, functional
magnetic resonance imaging, and studies of brain damage; emotional
vs. cognitive empathy in neuropsychiatric conditions such as
autism, schizophrenia, and psychopathy; the concept of self in
autism and teaching methods targeting ToM deficits; the
relationship between empathy, the pain matrix and the mirror neuron
system; the role of oxytocin and fetal testosterone in mentalizing
and empathy; the heritability of empathy and candidate single
nucleotide polymorphisms associated with empathy; and ToM in
non-human primates. These 26 chapters represent a masterly overview
of a field that has deepened since the first edition was published
in 1993.
