    • Theory of Mind (ToM) refers to the cognitive ability to understand and attribute mental states, such as beliefs, desires, intentions, and emotions, to oneself and others. This ability allows individuals to predict and interpret the behavior of others based on the inferred mental states. ToM is a crucial aspect of social cognition and is essential for effective social interaction and communication.
      1. . ToM Task: A ToM task is a test or an experimental procedure designed to assess an individual's ability to understand and attribute mental states to themselves and others. These tasks often involve participants interpreting stories, animations, or images that require them to recognize the mental states of the characters involved. Common ToM tasks include the False Belief Task, the Sally-Anne Task, and the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test. The tasks can vary in complexity and can be used to assess ToM abilities in children, adults, and individuals with neurodevelopmental or psychiatric disorders.
      2. . ToM Measure: A ToM measure is a quantitative assessment derived from the performance of individuals on one or more ToM tasks. The measure typically provides a score that reflects the individual's ability to attribute mental states accurately. ToM measures can be used to compare the performance of individuals or groups and to track the development or improvement of ToM abilities over time. They can also be used to identify difficulties in social cognition associated with various disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder.
