Understanding and sharing intentions: The origins of cultural cognition (2005, background): “Tomasello et al. (1993) argued and presented evidence that these two dimensions of human expertise – reading intentions and interacting with others culturally – are intimately related.”
Dissociable prefrontal networks for cognitive and affective theory of mind: a lesion study. (2007, background): “Previous authors have also attempted to separate ToM easoning to several component processes (Sabbagh, 2004; ager-Flusberg, 2001).”
The Innate Mind: Structure and Contents (2005, background): “2.3 Criticisms of the Theory-of-Mind Hypothesis in Autism and WMS Despite its wide-ranging appeal, the theory-of-mind hypothesis of autism has come under attack (see Tager-Flusberg, 2001).”
Evaluating the Theory-of-Mind Hypothesis of Autism (2007, background): “…autism, including failure to orient toward social stimuli and deficits in joint attention, can be readily interpreted within a broader theory-of-mind framework that encompasses these online social-perceptual components as well as more traditional social-cognitive components (Tager-Flusberg, 2001).”
Autism and the Social World: An Anthropological Perspective (2004, background): “…socio-cultural indexicality parallel experimental studies that demonstrate autistic impairments in inferring another person’s intentions and emotions from perceptual cues like eye gaze, facial expressions, and gestures (Baron-Cohen et al., 1997; Frith, 1989; Happé, 1993; Tager-Flusberg, 2001).”

What are the Links Between Theory of Mind and Social Relations? Review, Reflections and New Directions for Studies of Typical and Atypical Development (2004, background): “As a result, many researchers now subscribe to much broader definitions of ‘theory of mind’ that encompass a wide range of mental states (from perception to intention, cognition and emotion), expanding considerably the scope of theory-ofmind research (for reviews, see Flavell, 1999; Hughes, 2001b; T”
Changes and challenges in 20 years of research into the development of executive functions (2011, background): “…a critique of the original theory-of-mind account of autism (which is often diagnosed long before children are expected to pass false belief tasks), Tager-Flusberg (2001) proposed that early-onset ‘socio-perceptual’ skills (aka intuitive mentalising) depend on modular cognitive processes, whereas…”
Bookworms versus nerds: Exposure to fiction versus non-fiction, divergent associations with social ability, and the simulation of fictional social worlds (2006, background): “The cognitive and emotional forms of perspective-taking described above may underlie real-world mentalizing (Tager-Flusberg, 2001), and appear to mirror in some aspects the two major explanatory theories of this process, simulation-theory and theory-theory (Carruthers & Smith, 1996).”
