One Brain-Tool Is the Foundation of Every Human Relationship
Briefly

from Psychology Today5 days ago
"Sophie looked at me, looked at her mother, took a lollipop, un-wrapped it, covered her eyes with her left hand, and with her right put the lollipop in her mouth... If Sophie could not see us, then we could not see her. Sophie, at the age of 14 months, had not yet developed theory of mind, or the capacity to appreciate someone else's perspective."

"Around the age of 18 months, toddlers have an 'aha!' moment when their brain matures enough to recognize and appreciate that other people have a point of view. But they still have to guess, to theorize."

"Theory of mind is the root of empathy. Sophie's behavior demonstrated empathy... She knew exactly what I wanted of her. So, I had to disappear."
