Theory of Mind und Kommunikation: Zwei Seiten derselben Medaille?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Theory of Mind

Zusammenfassung

Sich in andere hineinzuversetzen, ihre Gefühle, ihr Denken und Wissen einzubeziehen, zu erkennen, dass die Handlungen anderer Menschen durch ihre mentalen und emotionalen Zustände bedingt sind – das gelingt mühelos, wenn man in Austausch bleibt, miteinander spricht und kommuniziert. Und in der Tat scheinen Menschen, deren Kommunikationsfähigkeiten interaktiv und sozial ausgerichtet sind, auch bessere ToM-Fähigkeiten zu besitzen (Baron-Cohen 2004).
