The Cognitive Basis of Social Interaction Across the Life...
Ferguson, Heather J. (Professor in Psychology, University of Kent, UK) / Bradford, Elisabeth E.F (Lecturer in Psychology, University of Dundee, UK)
A vital part of successful social interaction is the ability to understand events in terms of other people's mental states, such as their intentions, beliefs, desires (Theory of Mind, ToM). This book explores how human social interactive abilities change across the lifespan, from infancy to old age, and in healthy and atypical development.
