- Title
On linking comparative metacognition and theory of mind.
- Authors
Call, Josep
- Abstract
Compared to theory of mind (ToM) research in nonhuman animals, comparative metacognition (CM) is an underdeveloped area. Whereas researchers have devoted much attention to the study of mental state attribution in others, much less has been done in the area of mental attribution in the self. CM and ToM have received different amounts of research attention. Researcher's article is an important step in bringing attention to the less investigated topic of CM. However, this increased attention to CM should be complemented with establishing links with ToM. It is only by developing these two areas jointly that we can hope to fully understand the social cognitive processes in humans and animals.
