“…One important aspect of ToM is cognitive perspective taking which is one's capacity to compare state of self (1 st person perspective) with another individual (3 rd person perspective), with both perspectives involving different neural and cognitive processes [36,37]. It is well known that anorexics have difficulties in attributing mental states (intentions, feelings, beliefs) to others and in explaining and predicting others' behaviour, which involves the decoding of affective stimuli [38,39,40,41,42,43,44]. Further, fMRI studies have revealed that even after recovery, anorexics have reduced functioning in social and cognitive networks, compared to healthy controls, which again can account for their difficulty in ToM perspective taking [38,45].…”
