The tendency to remember information better when it's related to us, because we process it in a deeper way.

A part of the brain that shows less activity when you're thinking about yourself. It's involved in processing information that's self-related.

The ability to have control over our own actions and movements.

This brain network is active when we're not focused on the external world, and is involved in daydreaming and introspection.

The ability to know and understand your own personality traits, memories, and other personal information.

A brain network that is more active when we are at rest, engaged in activities like daydreaming or idling, and thought to be involved in processing self-referential information.

The part of the brain that plays a crucial role in understanding and regulating social behavior, including judging our social performance and recognizing social cues. It is also important for recognizing positive and negative self-relevant information.

A condition that affects the ability to judge oneself and recognize social cues. People with this condition may overestimate their social performance and engage in inappropriate behavior.

The ability to distinguish between positive and negative self-relevant information. This is linked to the activity of certain brain regions like the anterior cingulate cortex.

The ability to understand and infer the mental states of others, including their thoughts, beliefs, and intentions.

Brain region involved in processing mental states and social cues, particularly eye gaze.

A part of the TPJ involved in detecting when someone is looking at something.

When a person looks at the same direction as a moving object, we can infer they are tracking it. The STS is activated.

When a person looks in a different direction than a moving object, we can't infer they are tracking it. The STS is less active.

The ability to understand and predict the thoughts, beliefs, and intentions of other people. It is fundamental to social interaction and involves taking the perspective of another person.

A scenario designed to test someone's theory of mind abilities. It involves a false belief about the location of an object, which requires participants to understand that someone else might have a different perspective.

An experiment where participants were shown photos of apples and then asked if they believed the apple was still on the tree after being blown off by the wind. This task tests whether participants understand that a photograph cannot capture the dynamic nature of the real world.
