Abstract

In contrast to many other areas of cognitive neuroscience, early neuroscientific investigations of mindreading broke new ground without the support of detailed cognitive models. Consequently, commonly used tasks combine or confound multiple processes. I illustrate how progress is being made in distinguishing different processes and building cognitive models, how this work has been critically informed by neuroscientific as well as cognitive approaches, and how a mature cognitive neuroscience of mindreading has an exciting future in store.
