Here are three brief talks (about 20 minutes each) on Theory of Mind (the ability to ascribe mental states to another person and then use one's sense of those states to explain and predict the actions of the other person). Theory of Mind (ToM) is is also referred to as mindreading, mentalizing, or mentalistic abilities. ToM is one of the key skills necessary for intersubjectivity and empathy - most children begin to develop the skill around age 3.
