Article Abstract:

Theory of mind is a concept discovered in the 1980s, whereby the brains of all normal people more than five years old can work out what other people are thinking. According to a Tufts University philosopher, Daniel Dennett, people use theory of mind constantly, as is indicated by the thought processes of people watching a film and their understanding of what the characters in the plot are thinking. Research into the concept could help autistic people, part of whose brain is damaged.
