Course Summary
In this course we will cover different perspectives on Theory of Mind. We will be asking what it means to have a Theory of Mind, who has a Theory of Mind, and how does Theory of Mind interface with cognition?
Course Description
Theory of Mind is central to being human. This course will provide a contemporary and holistic view of Theory of Mind. Across the course we will blend theoretical discussions with empirical investigations and critically examine longstanding debates. We will consider Theory of Mind from a developmental perspective before broadening our outlook to investigate cross-cultural perspectives on Theory of Mind, and how Theory of Mind interacts with other aspects of cognition such as language.

Additional Restrictions
Unless you are nominated on a Psychology exchange agreement, visiting students are only permitted to enrol in one 3rd year Psychology course each, per semester, before the start of the relevant semester’s welcome period – and spaces on each course are limited so cannot be guaranteed for any student. Enrolment in a second course from this group will depend on whether there are still spaces available in the January Welcome Period, and cannot be guaranteed. It is NOT appropriate for students to contact staff within this subject area to ask for an exception to be made; all enquiries to enrol in these courses must be made through the CAHSS Visiting Student Office. This is due to the extremely limited number of spaces available in this very popular subject area.
