Theory of mind

Theory of mind (often abbreviated ToM) Is the capacity to attribute intellectual states—beliefs, intents, goals, pretending, knowledge, and so on.—to oneself and others and to understand that others have ideals, desires, intentions, and perspectives which can be special from one's very own.[1] Deficits can occur in humans with autism spectrum issues, schizophrenia, interest deficit hyperactivity disease,[2] cocaine dependancy,[3] as well as alcoholics who have suffered mind harm because of alcohol's neurotoxicity.[4] Although philosophical tactics to this exist, the idea of thoughts as such is distinct from the philosophy of mind
