Genetic contribution to 'theory of mind' in adolescence.

Scientific reports - 22 Feb 2018

Warrier Varun, Baron-Cohen Simon

Abstract excerpt

Difficulties in 'theory of mind' (the ability to attribute mental states to oneself or others, and to make predictions about another's behaviour based on these attributions) have been observed in several psychiatric conditions. We investigate the genetic architecture of theory of mind in 4,577 13-year-olds who completed the Emotional Triangles Task (Triangles Task), a first-order test of theory of mind. We...
