TLDR
The Revised Eyes Test has improved power to detect subtle individual differences in social sensitivity and was inversely correlated with the Autism Spectrum Quotient (the AQ), a measure of autistic traits in adults of normal intelligence.Abstract:
In 1997 in this Journal we published the ‘‘Reading the Mind in the Eyes’’ Test, as a measure of adult ‘‘mentalising’’. Whilst that test succeeded in discriminating a group of adults with Asperger syndrome (AS) or high-functioning autism (HFA) from controls, it suered from several psychometric problems. In this paper these limitations are rectified by revising the test. The Revised Eyes Test was administered to a group of adults with AS or HFA (N fl 15) and again discriminated these from a large number of normal controls (N fl 239) drawn from dierent samples. In both the clinical and control groups the Eyes Test was inversely correlated with the Autism Spectrum Quotient (the AQ), a measure of autistic traits in adults of normal intelligence. The Revised Eyes Test has improved power to detect subtle individual dierences in social sensitivity.read more

Deficits in theory of mind and social anxiety as independent paths to paranoid features in schizophrenia.

TL;DR: A cluster analysis on a group of 102 adults with schizophrenia spectrum disorders in a non-acute phase of illness found the group with levels of high paranoid features and relatively better ToM performance had significantly higher levels of social anxiety than all other groups.

TL;DR: Data indicate that targeted CBI social skills groups such as NETT improve social communication deficits in verbal, school-aged children with ASD, and the moderating effects of high verbal IQ suggest a need to consider participant and treatment characteristics associated with outcomes in future studies.

Neuropsychological evidence for the crucial role of the right arcuate fasciculus in the face-based mentalizing network: A disconnection analysis.
TL;DR: The main goal of this study was to confirm the critical role of the right AF in mentalizing abilities by applying voxelwise and tractwise lesion‐symptom analyses to a set of behavioral data obtained from a large and homogeneous group of neurological participants.

Pupil mimicry promotes trust through the theory-of-mind network

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that pupil mimicry modulates trust decisions through the activation of the theory-of-mind network (precuneus, temporo-parietal junction, superior temporal sulcus, and medial prefrontal cortex), which was recruited during pupil-dilation mimicry compared with interactions without mimicry or compared with pupil-constriction mimicry.

Maternal history of depression is associated with enhanced theory of mind in depressed and nondepressed adult women
TL;DR: Women with a maternal history of depression performed better on the Eyes task than those without, and the younger the mother's onset of depression, the better the current probands' Eyes task performance.

Does the chimpanzee have a theory of mind
David Premack,Guy Woodruff +1 more
TL;DR: This paper showed an adult chimpanzee a series of videotaped scenes of a human actor struggling with a variety of problems, some of which were simple, such as bananas vertically or horizontally out of reach, behind a box, and so forth; others were more complex, involving an actor unable to extricate himself from a locked cage, shivering because of a malfunctioning heater, or unable to play a phonograph because it was unplugged.

The autism-spectrum quotient (AQ): evidence from Asperger syndrome/high-functioning autism, males and females, scientists and mathematicians.
TL;DR: The Autism-Spectrum Quotient is a valuable instrument for rapidly quantifying where any given individual is situated on the continuum from autism to normality, and its potential for screening for autism spectrum conditions in adults of normal intelligence remains to be fully explored.
