Description: "One of the great challenges of social-cognitive science is to determine how we understand, or "read," the minds of others - that is, infer complex mental states such as beliefs, desires, intentions, and emotions. This volume brings together leading scholars from psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, and philosophy to examine this essential topic through an integrative lens. The book explains basic concepts while presenting cutting-edge theories and findings that are changing the landscape of the field."--Jacket.
