Description

Theory of mind is the ability to understand and infer the mental, intentional and emotional states of other people; it is being aware that there are points of view different from one's own. Developing ToM is important to anticipate both the intentions and reactions of other people - "reading others" - and the ones that our behavior could have on others - "how others read me" -. This thinking ability develops between four and five years of age.
