“…In the examined studies, 17 ToM tasks had the control questions. Although in most of studies, individuals with TBI were not impaired to answer such questions, there were some exceptions in this case (4,46,56). For example, due to working memory load of some tasks and problems in individuals with TBI, the patients might not process the story correctly.…”

“…Another explanation might be due to the deficit in patients with TBI language skills, which might cause difficulties to understand the contents of the stories. Therefore, it cannot be firmly said that patients with TBI have a specific ToM impairment (46). In some studies (27, 53, 54), the findings of control questions were not mentioned.…”

“…These researchers asserted that ToM ability can be preserved despite behavioral disturbance. Additionally, individuals with TBI were impaired in inference intention task and character intention task (43,46) that assess cognitive ToM. Persons with TBI were impaired in 'awareness of social context' (48) that includes both cognitive and affective ToM.…”

“…According to the studies, individuals with TBI were impaired in mentalistic inferences and faux pas stories (4,39,45,46,50,53,54). In some studies, TBI persons were not impaired in the nonmental/physical/logical inferences, no faux pas stories, and logical stories (4,27,36,39,46).…”

Context: Theory of mind (ToM) is one of the social cognition skills. Deficits of ToM in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) impact adversely on their social functioning and generally, their life style. Objectives:The current study aimed to assess ToM skill among adults with TBI. Data Sources: The terms of traumatic brain injury, head injury, closed head injury, head trauma, social cognition, theory of mind, mind reading, and adult were searched in databases of PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Taylor and Francis Online, Willey Online Library, and Springer. Data Selection:The inclusion criteria were the recruitment of adult subjects with TBI and relevance to ToM skills. Exclusion criteria were relevance to the other social cognition (other than ToM) and non-social cognition skills in TBI, and relation to ToM skills in children and adolescents with TBI.Data Extraction: Type of study, sample size, task name, type of task, control question, and results were the main categories considered in the current review. Results:The current review study covered 35 articles about different types of ToM impairment in individuals with TBI. The majority of the studies were case-control comparisons on ToM in TBI populations regardless of the lesion location, including story-based tasks. TBI patients are impaired in mental state inference (ToM), and non-mental state inference. Conclusion:Patients with TBI were impaired in mental tasks (ToM) and non-mental tasks (more in non-mental verbal tasks compared with non-verbal ones), which indicated that persons with TBI had no special impairment in ToM skills.

“…Many persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) exhibit debilitating cognitive and communication impairments [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. The language-related symptoms often fall outside the traditional definition of aphasia and include difficulty understanding a speaker's goals in a conversation and how an utterance serves those goals.…”

Primary Objective: To examine the potential for treating deficits in Theory of Mind (ToM), i.e., using a person's beliefs to understand and predict behaviour, and to test the hypothesis that improvements in ToM can be distinguished from performance in other domains such as judging line orientation and executive function. Materials and Methodology:In Study 1, two individuals with TBI participated in a protocol targeting ToM, which was assessed using a cartoon interpretation task. Participants also performed on a short form of the Benton Judgment of Line Orientation Task as a control. In Study 2, a third person with TBI participated in Attention Process Training (APT-1) followed by the ToM protocol. Executive function was assessed using the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task (PASAT). Results:In Study 1, ToM performance but not judgments of line orientation responded to the ToM training. In Study 2, executive function, but not ToM, showed strong improvement with APT-1. In contrast, ToM but not executive function showed significant improvement with ToM training. Conclusion:ToM is a good candidate for intervention. For three persons with TBI, ToM performance showed selective improvement associated with ToM treatment, which suggests a practical as well as theoretical value for distinguishing ToM from executive function.
