Zusammenfassung

Theory of Mind, die Fähigkeit zur Zuschreibung mentaler Zustände (wie z. B. Gefühlen, Wünschen, Absichten etc.) bei anderen Personen stellt eine grundlegende Voraussetzung zur sozialen Kognition und Kommunikation dar. In den letzten Jahren, insbesondere mit der Entwicklung der kognitiven Neurowissenschaften und der bildgebenden Verfahren, wurden die neuronalen Grundlagen der ToM identifiziert (Amodio u. Frith 2006). Hierbei fiel auf, dass die gefundenen Netzwerke auch mit den für andere kognitive Funktionen relevanten Netzwerken überlappen. Dies führte zu neuen Konzepten, welche die ToM in eine enge Beziehung zu diesen kognitiven Funktionen setzen. Sollte die Fähigkeit zur ToM demnach gar keine selbstständige Form von Kognition darstellen, sondern möglicherweise in weiter gefassten Konzepten aufgehen? In diesem Kapitel wird ein prominenter diesbezüglicher Vorschlag vorgestellt und vor dem Hintergrund der Ergebnisse moderner bildgebender Verfahren und von Erkrankungen des menschlichen Gehirns diskutiert.
