Baron-Cohen's Theory of Mind

Baron-Cohen's Theory of Mind refers to the ability to understand that other people have their own thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and intentions, which may differ from your own. It's the cognitive skill that allows us to interpret and predict others' behavior based on their mental states. This ability is essential for effective social interaction and empathy. Difficulties with Theory of Mind are often seen in autism, where individuals may struggle to understand or infer what others are thinking or feeling, affecting communication and social relationships.
