Abstract
Interpreting others’ actions
we report a false belief study using ERPs where participants
(TB) or false belief (FB) about an object’s location. A target
the object - including a sentence-final noun that was either
the character held a TB about the object’s location, the N400
vs. consistent critical words [t=2.79, p<.01]. However, the
about the object’s location [t=-2.39, p<.03]. Intriguingly,
scores showed a significant correlation for FB (r=-.51, p<.003)
interpreted events according to the character’s FB, while low
empathisers interpreted events egocentrically.
