Could you please expand further on 'theory of mind'?

G

Dear camper, sweetchic, thanks so much for replying:)
theory of mind, is a uniquley human skill. on its basis we hold ideas about mental states such as beleifs and feelings and explain behaviour of others on the basis of these mental constructs - a person can hold a beleif about some one elses belief..and explain that persons behaviour on the basis of their beliefs. i would also like to explore julian james' theory on the evolution of consciouness.
anyone who knows of funding possibilities in this area? plz do write. i will write to university of leicester

Anjali - hi - i just asked because the 'theory of mind' is sometimes associated with research into autism and I know that the Autism Research Centre (ARC) at Cambridge specialises in this area. I don't know if autism is too specific for you but if you are interested it may be worth a try. Good luck
