对成年人的神经影像学研究发现，当人们思考他人的想法（心理理论）时，大脑皮层区域会被招募：颞顶叶交界处、后扣带回和内侧前额叶皮层。 13 名 6 至 11 岁的儿童在听故事中描述人物思想的部分与描述物理环境的故事部分时，这些相同的区域被招募。颞上沟后部的一个独特区域与生物运动的感知有关。仅在一个区域观察到响应选择性随年龄的变化。右颞顶叶交界区被同等地招募来处理年幼儿童的心理和身体事实，但仅针对年龄较大的儿童的心理事实。
Neuroimaging studies with adults have identified cortical regions recruited when people think about other people's thoughts (theory of mind): temporo-parietal junction, posterior cingulate, and medial prefrontal cortex. These same regions were recruited in 13 children aged 6-11 years when they listened to sections of a story describing a character's thoughts compared to sections of the same story that described the physical context. A distinct region in the posterior superior temporal sulcus was implicated in the perception of biological motion. Change in response selectivity with age was observed in just one region. The right temporo-parietal junction was recruited equally for mental and physical facts about people in younger children, but only for mental facts in older children.
