Review

"This is an important work in a rapidly changing field. The editors and contributors attempt to explain the always-elusive concept of self-awareness.

Product Description

The material for the original edition of this book was prepared in the late 1980s. During that time, there has been growth in the fields of theory of mind, autism, and cognitive neuroscience. This new edition includes a whole section on the cognitive neuroscience of "mind-reading", bringing together varied research methods such as functional neuro-imaging, single cell recording, and neuropsychology. In addition, there is expanded coverage of primate studies and the evolution of a theory of mind, and new information relating theory of mind in clinical populations other than autism, such as schizophrenia. The original section on normal development has been updated, as has the debate over the relationship between theory of mind deficits and autism.

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This is perhaps the definitive source on the nature of autism. I particularly enjoyed the bit on cognitive neuroscience.
