The role of the orbitofrontal cortex in affective theory of mind deficits in criminal offenders with psychopathic tendencies.
TLDR
It was concluded that the pattern of mentalizing impairments in psychopathy resembles remarkably that seen in participants with lesions of the frontal lobe, particularly with OFC damage, providing support for the notion of amygdala-OFC dysfunction in Psychopathy.About:

Reading Literary Fiction Improves Theory of Mind
David Kidd,Emanuele Castano +1 more
TL;DR: Experimental evidence suggests that reading good fiction helps us to understand others, and results show that reading literary fiction temporarily enhances Theory of Mind (ToM), and suggests that ToM may be influenced by engagement with works of art.

TL;DR: This study provides a general model for the local connectivity of the frontal lobes that could be used as an anatomical framework for studies on lateralization and future clinical research in neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Imaging brain development: The adolescent brain
TL;DR: In this article, a review of MRI and fMRI studies on structural changes in the developing brain is presented, and the effects of genes, environment and culture on the adolescent brain are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroanatomical and neurochemical bases of theory of mind.
TL;DR: A novel neurobiological model of theory of mind that incorporates both neuroanatomical and neurochemical levels of specificity is presented, which maintains that cognitive and affective aspects of ToM are subserved by dissociable, yet interacting, prefrontal networks.

Neural processing associated with cognitive and affective Theory of Mind in adolescents and adults
Catherine L. Sebastian,Nathalie M. G. Fontaine,Geoffrey Bird,Sarah-Jayne Blakemore,Stephane A. De Brito,Eamon McCrory,Essi Viding +6 more
TL;DR: The specificity of the mPFC/vmPFC response during affective ToM supports evidence from lesion studies suggesting that vmPFC may integrate affective information during ToM, and the differential neural response in VMPFC between adult and adolescent groups indicates developmental changes in affective toM processing.

Measuring individual differences in empathy: Evidence for a multidimensional approach.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) to facilitate a multidimensional approach to empathy, which includes four subscales: Perspective-Taking (PT), Fantasy (FS), Empathic Concern (EC), and Personal Distress (PD).

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empathy: Its ultimate and proximate bases.
TL;DR: The Perception-Action Model (PAM), together with an understanding of how representations change with experience, can explain the major empirical effects in the literature and can also predict a variety of empathy disorders.

Theory of mind.
Chris D. Frith,Uta Frith +1 more
TL;DR: For example, Frith as discussed by the authors showed that children with autism have a specific problem with theory-of-mind tasks, such as looking for the hidden chocolate in the cupboard.

Theory of Mind
TL;DR: Only from age five or so do children show full understanding of the situation and become able to explain exactly why Maxi has a false belief, and even 15-month-olds can be shown to have an inkling of what is going on.
