Theory of mind (ToM) is defined as ability to understand mental states of others. However, several cross-cultural studies that examined non Anglo-American children found some variations in the onset time of ToM. In this book, results of behavioural and neuroimaging studies that examined ToM and related social cognition are selectively reviewed.
