Theories of Mind refer to the cognitive frameworks that explain how individuals understand and attribute mental states—such as beliefs, desires, and intentions—to themselves and others. This understanding is crucial for social interactions, as it helps people predict and interpret behavior. One prominent theory is the Theory of Mind (ToM), which suggests that humans develop the ability to recognize that others have thoughts and feelings distinct from their own. This ability typically emerges in early childhood and is essential for empathy and effective communication in social contexts.
