No evidence of theory of mind reasoning in the human language network

2022-07-20

Abstract excerpt

Language comprehension and the ability to infer others’ thoughts (theory of mind, ToM) are interrelated during development and language use. However, neural evidence that bears on the relationship between language and ToM mechanisms is mixed. Although robust dissociations have been reported in brain disorders, brain activations for contrasts that target language and ToM bear similarities, and some have reported ov...
